Most times, it's the OS that doing it... either some scheduled task, search and indexing, or some software doing a scan (IE - anti virus, etc...)
What concerns me more is the grinding... Drive might be failing if it's starting to do that. How old is the drive?

Sounds like that should be your no. 1 concern. Not what it's trying to access.raverx3m said:
i mean grinding as in acessing( the noise it makes when needle jumps around)
thats the newest drive i have bought it 2 yeas ago its 1TB drive thats about 75% full
i have defrag set for all drives but its not scheduled for today. i dont have any other scheduled tasks including antivirus
it was just acessing something for about 3-4 hours and then stopped.
indexing service is disabled on all drives also
i checked resource monitor but couldnt see any obvious sprocess that was doing it
