Hi all,
My HD light pulses at a rate of just over 1 blink per second.

I have turned off all anti-spyware, anti-virus, etc, I've closed all windows. I've gone into systray and taken out the usual junk like quick-time update checks, realplayer checks, iTuneshelper--all of that junk.

This machine is on a home peer network, and I've un-shared my drives, I even unplugged the network cable in case any other machine was even attempting to read my disks.

I look in Task Manager, and and the only thing using cpu is the usual system idle process. I have the I/O read and write columns showing, and nothing is incrementing--By all diagnosis, nothing whatsoever is running.

This is something I would have noticed if it had alwasy been happening, so I'm fairly certain it's a recent development.

Does anyone have any idea what this may be?
Thanks for any help,
--Jim
