No onions, no onions
For those complaining about a lot of noise/HD reading/indexing/whatever it is. I was having the same issue and it was just annoying more than anything else really, especially when the rest of the room was quiet or when I'd be trying to sleep. Anyways I went into Services and disabled 'Superfetch'. Seems to have fixed the problem for now and hopefully forever.

Superfetch is a very good thing and you are handicapping your OS, disabling one of the things that makes Vista and 7 so superior to XP. Much like with indexing, it will settle down after a while, once it gets used to your usage habits.

It's like buying Win7 and then disabling Aero. As mentioned, Superfetch is one of the things that makes Win7 awesome, and it won't "make noise" for long.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll just let it do it's thing then and hopefully it won't be doing that for long.
