I have the same problem. Windows XP pro with NTFS, which has been stable since it was installed. Problem started about three days ago with constant disk access in about 1-2 minute bursts. The problem is first apparent when Windows is loading (before desktop is displayed). Additionally the disk access can be triggered when windows explorer, my computer and application save dialog boxes are opened. It can also occur randomly though I think it is instigated with a disk access. When thrashing starts system virtually locks up until disk access stops. It seems more like a constant read/write sound rather then thrashing. I have run scandisk with no errors found + run 3 separate virus scanners and defragged. Any help appreciated.
