Second HDD turns on and off

Rich

The defrag program in Vista is automatic and it runs in the background when
the computer is idle. If it is running and you start using the system,
defrag will pause until the system is idle and then start where it left off.

Defrag runs as a scheduled Task. You can go to Administrative Tools and
click Task Scheduler. In the task scheduler, go to Task Scheduler Library /
Microsoft / Windows / Defrag. Double click the Scheduled Defrag and you can
view the History and all of the settings there.

If you want to manually run the defrag, Go to Start/All
Programs/Accessories/System Tools and click on Disk Defragmenter. Click the
'Defrag Now' button.
