asked on

disk activity monitor for windows process, service or app

I need to find a rogue process or conflicting process that seems to occupy my HD to 100%

I have uses Process explorer (sysinternals) , but the CPU is 4%
and the memory utilization is less than half.

All i know is that the harddrive  light stays fully solid when the problem occurs but no cpu or memory issues.
no raid just plain ata drive.

My question is:

Is there a program that can tell me the disk utilization of a process, application  and service on windows server 2003 . So I can Isolate the software hogging My HD.

Was in the end due to a configlict runing vmware server.
The XP  VM was reconfigured to use 1 cpu( shouldb2) which when run caused the hypervisor to malfunction.
I know im not supposed to run VMware server on a domain controller.

Anyways the soluttions did allow me  to isolatate

Thankyou to all
S.. I fogot to include REG3 in the assisted solution , moderator help?
No solution was attained from the experts
directly.
but their posts allowed me to isolate a particular fault that is not represented by the question I orignally asked.
I decided to split the points to the posts the helped the most but I in using you web interface missed 1 expert.

Again for me the solution was answered properly in the fact
 that I did not ask which process was using up my disk just how to isolate it which process was using my disk
 
I ordinarily wouldn't mind my solution not getting the points, but ID:33645009 made the same suggestion later and with no additional details and received the points.
Again I made a mistake when choosing the the experts

athomsfere you were not deliberatley left out.

There was some re-iteration of the solutions by a couple of the experts normally I'd split first in best dressed. I obviously missed more than 1.

 I was in a rush and had to isolate this server issue with alot of pressure put on me ( typical )

Seen as though I made an error, I also think that just spliting across the board is best for all whom contributed.

I will be more careful in the future

If there is nothing I need do ( moderator) then ...

Thankyou again to all who contributed.
