Hard drive constantly running

by wdkempf . Updated 22 years, 5 months ago

There appears to be some process causing my hard drive to keep running. I can’t tell what it might be as it doesn’t show up in Task Manager (running Win2000). Computer operates normally otherwise. It stops on shutdown (naturally)and does not start on bootup until I choose to load the first program. Then it whirs constantly. Getting out of the first program does not cause it to stop. I defragragmented the drive twice, but that hasn’t cured it. Any clues of where I should look or try next?
