Method to determine cause of HDD activity?
Wondering if there is an easy way to find out what exactly the hard drive is going when crunching away. Every second or two I am getting some crunchy action going on on my  drive. I don't see any network activity to match the HDD activity in task manager.
Any ideas?

Ah, perhaps nevermind... resource monitor, linked to from the task manager gives some helpful info:

Yup, I suspended the windows defender process (MsMpEng.exe) and the crunching stopped immediately. heh.

Yeah, I have also noticed that MsMpEng.exe has recently caused a lot of hard drive activity/thrashing. Don't worry about the uninstall, Microsoft Security Essentials is not that good according to recent malware tests.
