Program to see what is accessing my hard drive?

Start Task manager by right clicking on taskbar and clicking on "Task Manager".
Go to "Processes" tab.
Click on "View" and "Select Columns ...".
Select "I/O Read Bytes" and "I/O Write Bytes" and "Description" if they are not already selected.
Click OK.

Click on "Show processes from all users".

Now, you can see which process is writing and which one is reading.
 
Thanks.

But it's showing me everything. My hard drive thrashes when I'm just idle sometimes. I want to know what the hard drive is doing. It's probably not indexing.


What about the

I/O Reads
I/O Writes
I/O Other
I/O Other Bytes


What are these?
 
If you let the machine settle, if you click on I/O Write bytes column and sort by that, you can see which process has written the most. You can also see which one is steady and which one is changing. The ones that are changing are the ones that are still writing.

Same with Read.


I could be wrong! But, I/O read gives you the same result, in a different format.
 
I have to processes making my hard drive go crazy with sound.

NT Kernal & System
lsass.exe (local security authority process)


What are these processes?
