I have noticed an annoying noise coming from my HDD - Every 10 seconds
exactly it buzzes with an access for about 0.5 seconds.  Once noticed it is
like the chinese water torture.  I have tried stopping everything
non-essential and it still continues - It is unusually loud as well - I
can't usually hear disk accesses.

Has anyone got an idea of how I could detect the process responsible? 
WInXP Pro.

I must back it all up or there might be consequences!!!
