Excessive disk activity

Gerald · Guest

We have a server running Server2K3 that has excessive disk activity. Disk
drive is so busy that normal browsing on the serve itself is slow. It is a
3Gig Pentium processor with 2Gig RAM and 160 Gig HDD. We have an email app
and WSUS-2 running. Neither of these apps are very active and even if they
are disabled the disk activity does not cease.
When we run "DiskMon" it shows continual write activity, but I cannot
determine file names to try trace what is happening.

Any suggestions as to how i can resolve this. I am considering reformatting
and re-installing Server 2K3 and the apps.

Thanks in advance ....
