Realtime Disk Access monitoring?

(1/2) > >>

Josh:
Is there a program which will tell you what program is accessing a hard disk at any given time and what the program is accessing? I am trying to troubleshoot the constant churn of my hard drives and want to find out what is causing this.

justice:
yep http://process explorer from sysinternals. On the top right graph on the main screen in my configuration it tells you the process that's causing the disk activity.

Josh:
Is there anything with more detail? The windows performance snap-in is far too complex for my needs.

"What's Running is a product that gives you an inside look into your Windows 2000/XP/2003 system.

Explore processes, services, modules, IP-connections, drivers and much more through a simple to use application. Find out important information such as what modules are involved in a specific process.

P.S. Never used this software myself.
