Scared to Use my Laptop

Hey All My Laptop's Hardisk Led is glowing like anything. It appears something is reading/writing data continously from/to the hard disk. I had to switch OFF as it sacred me. Any way to find out what's happening inside? Regards

Hi, try using 'taskmgr.exe' (TaskManager) to identify the process which is responsible. You can do this by adding the 'I/O Reads' & 'I/O Writes' columns, you can also add the 'I/O Read Bytes' & 'I/O Write Bytes' columns. Once you've nailed down the process responsible, you can use 'filemon.exe' (from www.sysinternals.com) to log the file-system calls that the process is making. Best Regards, Srini

Remove the moderation rods and see what happens!

I first read that as "my laptop's hardisk legs are growing". Gotta stop reading about a certain luggage and wizard, I think! Marc

Hello Srini Thanks a lot, i will try that Regards
I would suggest you try using TaskManager Extension also. That way, it would precisely point at the erring file handles also.
