Hard Drive Acitivity Monitor Utility

[M.Siler]

I'm looking for a simple small Hard Drive Activity Monitoring Utility that
can show me when writes & reads are taking place on my system (Windows XP
Pro). Please don't tell me GOOGLE as I've already looked there and there is
a ton of stuff on monitoring the hard drive for failures, etc. but I can't
seem to locate a utility like this. Anyone know of such a thing?

Thanks,
Mark

What makes you think anyone here can tell you about a possible program that
you can't find among Google's billions of pages?

Even when your computer is "idle", writes and reads are going on. What could
possibly be the benefit of having a utlity such as this installed?

Go to SysInternals and download their tool "Filemon" it is a
real-time disk access monitor. Depending on the options, it
scrolls quite fast, but all drive activity is shown.

perfom.exe will tell you lots about your disk activity. It's part
of nt/w2k/zp.

Perhaps someone has use or is currently using such a utility. As you pointed
out... billions of pages... if you don't get the right search words you're
lost in those billions of page.

Wow, I have no idea... I'm just posting here trying to waste everyone's time
and using up storage all over the world. Kind of like you by posting a reply
when you don't have anything of benefit to say.

Siler,

Not a utility, but a visual indicator (fits into that mythical empty bay in
everyone's PC)

You'll go nuts if you want to monitor that.
