Repeatedly accessing hardisk in a splitsecond every 1 second..very anoying

Hi. I have a little problem. I can hear that some proces is repeatedly
accessing my harddisk. It takes a split second but is repeated every ½
to 1 second. It is very annoying - anyone have an idea?

Both Gx & my problem involves svchost continually accessing the hard
drive.

I've just installed XP slipstreamed with SP2 onto a new hard drive
(but I'm back on the old OS & HDD now) and as soon as I installed the
modem drivers the svchost disc activity started. I uninstalled the
drivers & the problem went away.

I ain't gotta clue why this is so & it'll be a few days before I can
spend some time on it. In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas I'ld
be glad to hear them!

This could account for my problem;

"I/O doesn't necessarily refer to your hard drive. Input and output of
data are also part of the normal functioning of your modem, which
would be my guess at the cause of the numbers you are watching."

Hope to check it out at the weekend.
