What process is using my HD on startup?

1

The boot-up sequence for my work PC (running XP 32) takes nearly a half hour to complete. It's an older machine and the HD is encrypted so I understand why it is slow. What I don't understand is what happens in the last 10 minutes when my HD light is on (and I can hear it spinning and the PC is very unresponsive) but no activity shows up in the Process Explorer I/O Bytes section. I'd expect to see some activity there.

Is there another way to determine what process is utilizing my HD?

Try using Microsoft's Bootvis (I think you can download it from MajorGeeks). – Breakthrough – 2011-04-26T15:22:23.783

I'd also look into Soluto, I assume it does a similar thing like Bootvis, but I've found it helpful at times: Soluto
