My Windows 7 x64 hard disk light is continuously flashing. I had a look in the task manager but i cant find any programs which is over using the memory or cpu. I was wondering if there are any good free / open source tools to monitor hard disk activity which can tell me which program is causing the IO.

  • the sysinternals utilities are incredible, kind of surprising the level of access they provide aren't easily accessible in Windows by now.
