Hello,
My little hard drive is always cranking away, and often gets up to 55 degrees celsius (which is at the top end of the Hard Drive Manufacturer's allowable operating temperature). So when I go into the Resource Monitor for Vista, it shows the Disk as running at 90%+ Highest Active time a lot of the time, and there are often A LOT of either svchost.exe or SearchIndexer.exe running that takes it up.

Is this normal?

Thanks.
