Hi all;

Anynone have any idea why the HDD light on my computer case blinks constantly? I've scanned for viruses, adware, turned of indexing, defragged, and everything else I can think of, but still the light blinks constantly. All of my drives plus one of my optical are SATA, the last optical drive is IDE.

Any ideas?
 
Sorry, shoulda posted that... no, Im running XP Media Center.
 
Media center could be working to index your media files.
 
Well if you're doing a lot of stuff, it should be blinking, especially a disk defrag...
Does it blink when in use or when Idle (not using the computer)

Even when it's idle.

I thought about media center trying to index files, so I shut down all the media center processes, but the light still blinks.
