Intense Disk Activity After Startup

[richc46]

If you have no points in SR.
Turn it off
shut down computer
boot
then turn on SR
It should begin to work.

OK. Now it is starting to get weird...

Since I last posted, the System Properties System Protection tab finally - after a couple of hours - filled in the Available Disks list. I selected it and created a restore point. Then brought up the system restore panel and selected "Choose a different restore point". There are five restore points including the one I just made, going back to a Windows update on 11/19/2010. That is the only way I know to get a list of available restore points.

So, does this seem normal? I don't mean the long wait to get the ilst of Available Disks - I meant the restore point population.

One more thing, when you see the list, bottom left, there is a box check for more dates. Otherwise it seems like its working. Slow, but working.
The population depends on how much space is available for SR to use.

D'oh! OK, I see the rest of them now.

Still have the original problem...
