NTFS File indexing?

[Guest PhilM]

Does having this enabled slow down disk access duringGame play...or does it in fact speed it up.Or does it not make any the diff?. :)

I have it off as well making sure that the NTFS time stamp is disbaled, can improve HD perforamnce up to 50%!

Ok, how would one go about disableing time stamp? I'm using win 2000 if it makes a diffrence.

While I'm here, what about continuous Disk Activitywhen the PC is idle.I have no Tasks running, or virus programs.I have used one of those Programs that show all runingprosesses, and I only really have the essential Windowssystem ones running.Is this constant HD Activity during idle normal?.

[Guest kilo_sierra17]

Constant, well for me, when the computer is sitting at the log on screen, or I have closed everything and just left my account logged on, no HD activity, maybe the odd blink, but normally nothing, sounds odd, if you have a virus program, run a full system scan, that sounds suspicous.
