Hard drive

[Guest]

I am wondering about how often the hard drive should be accesses, the light
seems to be lighting up every few seconds, even when I am not using the
computer. I have run a Norton virus check, Ad-aware SE, and Spybot. Nothing
showed up. Also have Spyware Blaster. I am running Windows XP with SP2
installed. Just wondering if this is normal for a computer or should it set
without lighting up constantly? I checked all the items in my windows task
manager and they all seem to be legititimate. Any thoughts would be great,
thanks for any help. Always appreciated and helpful.

It is probably "Indexing"

That is normal in XP. You can shut it off by going into the Properties of
the hard drive.
