I've got a single drive on the primary IDE and two on the raid controllers. There's constant disk activty, 24/7: I can hear the disks seeking and the disk access light goes on about every 3/4 seconds, with the fifth blip blinking twice, then repeats.

What is this, anyone know?

What os are you running and do you have broad band??

If you have Win XP look at usage rates and see if one program is doing something all the time? Also start turning programs off one by one until it stops?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm running XP pro. Yes on the broadband, although if I disconnect it it still keeps going. I've booted in safe mode and killed all non critical processes and it still keeps at it.

I'm at a loss...
