Constant HDD light activity on Vista

I recently installed Vista Ultimate 64bits, everything went smooth and the system is running fine but my hard drive activity light is always on every time I reboot and it's not even flashing.

RAM and CPU usage seems to be normal and everything works fine.
Can anyone help me to find a solution for this? thank you.

 

On my Vista computer there is quite of bit of HDD activity on boot but in normal use or idle there is almost none unless I access something. You might want to use something like Processor Explorer to get an idea what is causing all of the activity.

 

It is probably the indexing of files for the quick search and prefetch that grinds the hard drive after reboot. Personally I have turned them off for that reason.

 

Thank you, how do i turn them off?

I tried disabling UAC and it helped a lot lowering hdd activity at startup but I think that is not the best option.

As Sukarof said.

Instead of Windows Indexing-try Locate32, a file finder that really quickly indexes all your files on demand (or continuously) and provides almost instant access to them- rather amazing.
