The referrenced article "Stop Windows....hard drive" does not apply to WinXP. Is
there a reason you do not want the activity light to flash? Mine flashes when my
AV (avast!) does an update, when Windows updates, and for various other functions.
I consider it normal. Is there a reason you do not want your computer to perform
internal diagnostics on a regular basis? Those would also seem to me to be normal.
Are these tests and logs causing you a problem?
Some reasons that are not normal for the light to flash would be spyware calling
home, P2P, and other malware at work while your comp is idle. Do you perform regular
security checks? Is your AV up to date? If you feel your comp is secure and free
of spys don't fret the rest.
