Windows 7 x64 hard disk light continuously flashing

0

My Windows 7 x64 hard disk light is continuously flashing. I had a look in the task manager but i cant find any programs which is over using the memory or cpu. I was wondering if there are any good free / open source tools to monitor hard disk activity which can tell me which program is causing the IO.

Try disabling your CD/DVD drive in Device Manager. – None – 2012-04-30T17:56:57.230

sysinternals procmon should do the trick - it lets monitors almost everything that a process does - file write, registry, and file operations

the sysinternals utilities are incredible, kind of surprising the level of access they provide aren't easily accessible in Windows by now. – BloodyIron – 2012-04-30T18:23:47.243
