I have realized that, everytime for the 1st time i open the computer.... and then i leave it idle for a while... then screen saver is on.... (which is ok at the moment)

then after screen saver is active for around 10min, if still doesn't have any movement on the computer, the HDD start to move itself... then i decided to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and look at the windows tasker.. and discover the defrag program is doing defrag at the background while the computer is inactive...

could i please know, how do i stop that defrag while i am on screen saver. as i found it sometimes hearing the hdd sounds...

thanks
Jacky

Most likely Defrag is in there and set ro run when PC has been idle for so-many minutes. Delete it or change it to wait longer if you want.
