I transfered 4 CD images (700MB each) from my PC to my laptop. Then I moved
the CD images into a folder. Then I moved the folder to another folder. Then
my laptop just started hard disk thrashing. I could not access the folder
that contained the 4 CD image files. The hard disk kept on thrashing for
say, way over 1 hour. I tried shutting down but it just got to: "Windows is
shutting down... please wait..." message. What is going on? Has this
happened to anyone else? Did my virtual memory run out? I had only booted up
my laptop to transfer the images to laptop. I have worked with many larger
files before and never seen my laptop thrash like this before.
Specifications:
TOSHIBA A100 Portege
P4 Centrino 1.4GHz
512MB RAM
HD - C:\ 8GB, D:\ 40GB
Virtual memory is default system managed.
I have plenty space in D:\ where the large CD image files where transferred
to. Over 24GB free.
Anyone know why my laptop is still thrashing the HD, even just now? Is it a
virus?
