Re: [XP Pro] Hard drive light flashing

you can also use this tool (diskmon) to check
»technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi···646.aspx

otherwise what software is running at any one time? How much ram? All of those software + system itself will use hd

Cudni
Thanks..
Ran disk monitor. Showed it was doing writes.
Also ran process explorer, I did not see anything that "looked" unusual. I have 2 megs of ram.
Gonna pretend that it has done this forever and not worry about it. Am planing a format and reinstall with SP3 in a few days and then see if it still does it..

Good idea, as there is a Delf variant going around right now that causes this exact behavior.

Maybe that's why the light is flashing. It appears MY lights are out!!
Make that 2 GB.

I am in the process of doing a complete reinstall now. Waiting for install to format the drive. Wish me luck. Will see if that stops it.

Well.. Did a full format and installed xp pro w/ sp3 slip streamed with auto streamer. Rebooted the computor three or four times. The light is still flashing sitting at the desktop with nothing loaded..
Guess some things are just meant to be.
