Excessive Hard drive access after defragmentation

[Harold A. Climer]

I have an HP pavilion A1520N computer running Windows XP MCE with SP3
installed.
I have two hard drives installed with partitions C and D on the master
drive and K and L on the slave drive. I also have a Maxtor USB I TB
drive as the O drive.
The D drive is the system restore drive.
In the last week I decided to de fragment all my drives since it has
been since Christmas vacation since I did it last.
After doing this I noticed that there was a large increase in disk
access compared to before de fragmentation. At times the little yellow
disk activity light is on almost constantly on and for long periods of
time.
Originally I had my Page File on Drive C (400GB and about half full).
Today I moved the page file to Drive K( 300GB with about 50GB of files
on it). As per Microsoft article on Virtual memory etc.
I also noticed that since de fragmentation it seems as if the
computer sometimes locks up. By this I mean that after closing a
program it takes quite a while for another program to respond to a
mouse click to get it started or to access the Start menu, etc.

It could just be pure co-incidence. Have you run 'error checking' on the
drives?

Harold,

How much memory (Ram) does your PC have?
What is the size of your pagefile on the K: drive?

Also check the health of your hard drives:
HD Tune, provides drive info and has an option to test your drive.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Also SpeedFan has an online health analysis feature
(SMART tab) for hard drives. It will show how your drives
compares with other drives of the same make and model.

My reaction is that your problem is more likely related to something
other than defragmenting.

What do you mean by "D drive is the system restore drive"? If you mean
it is a clone of C then it may no longer be of value given you have
moved the pagefile or rather if used it the pagefile will revert to C.

BTW system restore should only be monitoring C. In particular make sure
it does not monitor the Maxtor USB drive.

Did you run Disk CleanUp ( or cCleaner ) before defragmenting?

When you moved the pagefile did you leave a small pagefile say 50 mb on
C?

Is your system free from error?

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any more than 48
hours ago.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Does the CPU activity show up in Task Manager? What process is involved?

you may want to
open the task manager

and sort the processes
by cpu.

the process that is keeping
your disks busy will likely
show up as using high
cpu.

if you end those particular
tasks, you might end the
disk activity.

The system recovery drive is the software to reinstall all the
computer software, Operating System, etc. that came with the computer
when I bought it. It is an Hewlett Packard A1520 with XP MCE.

I have checked the hard rive for errors using chkdsk and several other
program and they report no errors.

To describe the situation a bit more clearly, the excess disk access
is what a friend of mine called it when he listened to it as "disk
chatter" as if the disk drive was looking for a file.etc and could not
fined it. While this is happening there is no response to mouse clicks
on any icon on the desktop or the start button either. The taskbar
also locks up too during the disk activity.


Anther question: How does one know which processes can be closed down
and not harm the operation of my computer?
It was a lot easier to shut down processes in Windows 98 and 3.1.
What are the minimum processes I would;d need to have in XP?

I just now noticed something even stranger. After de fragmenting my C:
drive on Tuesday the % fragmentation was less the 1%. In less than
three days it is now up to 25%. There must be something going on.
The only thing that has changed is the de fragmenting. I have not
installed any new software of note, only the utilities mentioned in
this thread used to check for disk errors.
The disk chatter must be doing something.

AV updates, System Restore points, Log files, Hibernation file.

 

[Harold A. Climer]

AV updates, System Restore points, Log files, Hibernation file.

I have the latest update for Norton Antivirus. I tried to get back to
before I defragmented the Hard Drive and it said it couldn't do it.
Does something need to be turned off so that the restore works?
What log files.?
Hibernation file?
Does the description sound as if the HD it self may be going south?

No System Restore should work if you
have a valid restore point file. But don't
count on System Restore to fix the problem.

Log Files.
