HDD constantly grinding away

[nkpza]

How can I find what it's doing? It's incessant and getting annoying. The laptop has 3gigs of RAM and currently using 700MB. I'm also running google desktop and anti-virus software.

Download Process Monitor from Sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx, and see what is accessing the disk.
