@ sk8er4514: Thanks, but i can see the idle process of the OS listed, and it don't say me that is using the disk ..... mean, in the anvir window, it's signed as not using the HDD ..... also the defrag schedules are set for start at night, when i'm not using the pc, and the disks get accessed also when, apparently, none is using them, so i don't have idea about what is doing what.
@ bobhaha: yes, i checked for viruses and spywares ..... made a complete scan, both with the standard version of the AV, that also with the online version, that is more accurate (but take almost a day, cause i have 4 disks of 500GB in the pc) ..... i have them scheduled to defrag each week, one at a day, with O&O defrag, and it works good, so i think it can't be the main cause of the problem.
Also used tools like sophos antirootkit and other antispywares, but they say me nothing wrong (usual lots of hidden files and processes, as usual in windows
, but apparently, all inactive or parts of the system)
The HDD don't go continuously from the start of win ..... i mean, lot of activity at win startup, for load all the files andf processes, as usual, then it stop, and works "normally", for half hour, or one hour, similar time, then, start to work also if i don't access it with programs, first slowly and randomly, but the frequency of random access increase in 10 or 15 minutes, til arrive to access them for 50 to 70% of the time, and at this point, also the rest slows down ..... from this point, also just burn a dvd at 8X becomes impossible in a single pass, cause the buffer empty 8 or 10 times before end the burning process, cause reading the data from the disks is too slow (and are SATA2 disks, and the burner is a 20X
)
About temp internet files, i use only firefox, and have set the temp buffer size to 50 Mb, so, don't think it interfer too much ..... explorer is blocked through the firewall as same as the rest of the unneeded processes, too.
Also, with the SATA disks, i can't see what one of the disks is accessed and when ..... i mean, with the old pc, that had ide disks, i had derived from each disk a signal and put a led for each one on the front panel, so i was able to see what disk was working ..... as far as i know, with SATA drives, there's no way for do the same, cause there's a single led for all the disks, from the MB, and no enable signals from the single isks, that i can utilize for that ..... so, i also don't know which one of the disks is accessed.
The only thing that show me what disk is in use, actually, is just the anvir program, that say me that the disk F is used at 45% or more, sometimes 90% (all the others 0 or 1 %) ..... this is not completely unexpected, cause is the disk where i set both temp and incoming dirs for emule, but is still too much usage, cause the disk load column say me that emule is using the disk at 10 to 15 % ..... there's still a 30% to 75% of usage that is not shown under any process or application, damn .....
Starting to think that, more that a big gun, i need a gatling vulcan
