Well, frequent disk access by any OS means means frequent use of virtual memory. Primarily due to Low RAM, Low disk space (don't manually specify size of virtual memory). It can also happen if you disable cache memory (check this from BIOS). If this doesn't help check for processes that are consuming large memory (RAM) using task-manager, experiment by STARTING and STOPPING them.
