Notice that "System Idle Process" always has a percentage that is the remainder of subtracting the "CPU Usage" from 100. Beyond this have you ruled out the possibility of bad RAM or bad sectors on the Hard Drive?-- Harry Ohrn - MS MVP (Windows XP) www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/ www.webtree.ca/newlife/

why is my hard disk rumbling so much and so often
On the drive I've got the ArMaTuReS distribution loaded (about 17Mb, according to 'count'), plus my library (1.7 Mb), and my work-in-progress programming directory (about 9Mb). Anyway, this little lot didn't ought to require half my drive to store it! ArMaTuRes is probably the culprit here.

Excessive Disk Usage
There is no excessive processor, memory or disk usage. There is network traffic going to and from the machine just fine and it responds well to pings and such. The only thing on the computer that stops working is Exchange. I have turned on logging for MSExchangeIS System in the recovery, general and connections

Database Server Disk Usage
For the purposes of this example I've selected Complete memory dump (256MB RAM installed), although based on monitoring Pagefile usage I only required 100MB on average.

Problem with Task manager in NT Server Enterprise Edition?
WindowServer can be driven to large CPU by excessive requests by an application to do window updates, and driving lookupd to near 50% of a CPU (core) suggests that an application is trying over and over to look up a (possibly non-existent) IP address. Smells like Norton running wild to me... mds 23% kernel_task

Disk usage growing
Therefore your problem must be something different, possibly a background program, antivirus or some other process accessing the hard drive on a regular basis. Right now, Kernal usage is running 75% with no other system activity. Any other suggestions? Thanks! "Nutcase" <rogers...@SPAMwestelcom.com> wrote in

It's better to investigate the root cause and stop the identical writes to the file.

Excessive replication is typically caused by applications that change all or most of

COLLECTED hard drive usage after XP NTFS
For 16-bit Windows and typical usage, I generally recommend that the memory and the permanent swap file *add* to about 16Mb - just the inverse of the Windows recommendation. .... I thought the Virtual Memory Swap File was born to let some of the space on my hard drive - relieve some of the duty on my RAM.

Hard Drive Excessive Use
If I set my swap file to something like 2000 KB excessive disk usage becomes an annoyance. However, there are still lots of Win 3.1 machines with 4 MB of RAM in use and these are the ones I would first change the Windows Smart Drive setting to 256 or even 128 unless you have a CD-ROM that you run from Windows.

Netscape causes excessive hard drive usage in Win95
On my 130Mb IDE drive, creating a new directory uses 14K of disk space - not as bad as the 26K someone else reported on a SCSI disk. I think some formatting software lets you specify this in some way; I remember the software for either Acorn ST506 or Oak SCSI drives asks you for the large file allocation unit The
