G1S hd constantly "busy" under vista, help!!!!

Hello all,

I am recently owner of a G1S-X1 from Bestbuy.

I have been using this machine for the past 3 days and I noticed
the hard drive is constantly thinking and making noises under
vista. There just seem to be a nonstop harddisk activity and it
is getting on my nerves.

I have googled for this issue online and after doing a little
research, I disabled services such as Indexer, Superfetch, Restore,
Windows Security (protection), and a few others. However this problem
is still not solved.

I have also ran diskcheck after booting and it did not report
any bad sectors on my hd.

can anybody help me to determine and fix this problem before I
exchange the machine?

thanks

 

I would suggest that you run Diskmon and/or Filemon to see what is accessing your HDD. Or maybe looking in task manager to see what process is busy will help identify the culprit.

I think Vista is indexing files or something for the first week or so after it's been installed, so it might be that (assuming you didn't shut down the service that did that).

Just leave it be for a week, and only start worrying if it does that for a longer time.

 

disabling aero fixed that problem for me.

 

Yeah I had the same problem, subsided after the first week or two. There's no doubt about it, Vista's one odd OS.
