normal.Nothing to worry about.

Yes, that is normal for vista and it will keep doing that forever and
ever.

Most likely you could do with some more RAM. This is typical behavior
when the OS has to keep swapping data between RAM and the swap file on
your disk to keep all your processes running.

Blink or flicker ?
Although you call it a 'HD Indicator' light it could well be an
'Activity on the bus' light if blinking means a steady ( once a second
say ) blink. It could be the system doing a regular check for the
insertion of a CD/DVD at some other connection. True for desktops
anyway.
