I have windows vista home premium 64bit with sp1.
Ihave turned off disk defragmenter and Control panel/indexin options shows:all items are indexed.Problem is this some program or process uses my hdd-it sounds like disk deragmeting uses my hdd!!! this goes on and on every day.I have also checked my hdd with my antivirus software(Avast) and i have run SUPERanti spyware and fixed problems in register-thats not help at all.
There is also several svhost processes.is this normal "behaviour" in windows vista?
Well, I can't read the images so I am afraid they don't help. Understand that when you do nothing, Windows and security programs start doing all sorts of things. So drive activity while you are doing nothing is not unusual.
It is common to have 4 - 6 instances of svchost running at once. I recommend using one of the below. They are all enhanced Task Manager type programs that will show you what is running on your computer. Each is nice in its own way. What's Running is probably the easiest, with AutoRuns for the more experienced, and Process Explorer the most popular. With these, for example, you can see what processes are using each of those various svchost.exe images.
Also, I would I recommend purging the hard drives of clutter with Windows (XP or Vista) Disk Cleanup, ATF Cleaner or CCleaner. If using CCleaner, uncheck option to install Yahoo toolbar during installation. Before first use, go to Options > Settings > Advanced and ensure Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours is unchecked.
Note: Know your site credentials (user name and password) for sites you frequent before cleaning; you may have to login again at next visit.
Check for updates before scanning,
Select Perform quick scan > Scan,
When complete, click OK, then Show Results,
Ensure all is selected, and click Remove Selected,
When complete, save the log in Notepad to a convenient place for future reference.
Do the same for all computers in your "Trusted Zone" on your network (everything on your side of the Internet "gateway" device - typically a Cable or DSL modem).
thanks for your answer,i have just run chkdsk and there was somekind bitmap error(or similar).I just run chkdsk /F command,and it repairs current problem.and my hdd is quiet.Is it that bitmap error common problem?
It could be a sign of bad times to come with that drive. You should make a backup of any critical data. Then run the Hard Drive Diagnostics for your drive. If all is fine, then it might just have been a fluke.
Was it making any strange noises like a grinding noise or was it being really loud? If you had a grinding noise that is a bad sign. 60 something processes is typical for Vista although I couldn't see what they are.
