subject: Identifying Disk I/O

From: "Dave Ings" 

IT gave me a new XP laptop this week, and due to time pressure I've not
wiped it and scratch reinstalled as has been my custom. So I"m not
100% sure exactly what's on it.

There is some process doing disk I/O every 5-10 seconds even when the
machine is idle. First time I've seen this on XP, and it's driving me nuts.
What's the best/easiest tool to identify the process doing the I/O? I tried
adding I/O Reads to the Task Manager, but that doesn't seem detailed enough
to identify the offender.

Thanks for any tips.
