hard drive activity by program?
What is causing hard drive grinding?
Once or twice a day my computer starts writing significantly hard to the hard drive, the HD led is ON and the performance hit is noticeable. A strange observation is that the Task Viewer does not show I/O activity - even Process Explorer shows no CPU activity and no I/O bytes read or written.
Is there a way to know which application is using the hard drive and how much data is it reading or writing?

4@Ivo - this is not a duplicate, as he tried the solutions on the other questions, and they are not working for him, as he explained. This is a different problem. Commenting over the other question won't help him, as he can't describe his problem, he would only be able to post an answer... And this is not an answer, it's a question. Voting to reopen. – Gnoupi – 2010-01-20T09:38:31.717
Voila :) Though I hope someone will actually solve his problem here then! – Ivo Flipse – 2010-01-20T10:06:07.897
