My Hard drive is being accessed 100% of the time?

My Acer Aspire One is very slow. When I look at Task Manager Performance it indicates that the hard drive is being accessed 100% of the time. Is there a process running in the background that can be disabled to stop this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You may want to consider a factory reset.

Consider what data you still need from your Acer Aspire One's hard drive. Save the files to an external USB device.

Restart the Acer Aspire One's operating system. Wait for the Acer logo to appear on the LCD screen.

Press the "Alt-F10" keys at the same time to bring up the recovery menu. Press "Enter."

Click "Next." Follow the prompts that appear on the screen to restore the operating system back to factory settings.

Use the drop-down boxes to select the time zone and language information for your Acer Aspire One. Restart the netbook when you are prompted to finish restoring the computer.

Connect the external USB device to your Acer Aspire One and transfer the data you saved earlier back to the netbook.
