I also used www.sysinternals.com to download filemon.exe which led me to find the
cause of my problem. My H-D would be taken over for 20-25 seconds several times
daily and windows task manager would not show anything running that was causing it.
Once I downloaded filemon.exe it showed exactly what the cause was and even shows
the exact time of the occurrence. Seems that Drive Image 7.x keeps it's agent running
in the backround, (V2i), scanning your H-D several times a day, even though the backup
program is set to run only once a day. I now can go into "Services" and turn off
the V2i agent during the day so this does not happen any more.
