Hard drive keeps spinning!

How do I shut it off? It has to be slowing down the system

Thanks

Disk defragmenter runs at low I/O priority so it doesn't interfere with
other I/O activities i.e. disk accesses.

It's supposed to but has been bugged repeatedly for that not quite working
right.

Here it works fine without problems.

Could be due to the indexing that isn't finished yet.
This could take very long in the beginning especially when you have a lot of
files (or multiple partitions and multiboot etc).

No, No, No. Have you ever seen the indexing settings? I think that a lot of
people didn't see the indexing settings...
The searchindexer by default indexes only a small amount of folders, such as
the
start menu, the windows mail and the documents and so it's not heavy but
it's very fast.

I just walked away left it run and it finally stopped.

Many thanks

Ron
