Indexing is an NTFS feature. The drive caches file information for faster access. It's not really needed on smaller drives so you have to enable it manually I think. I've given up reinstalling. Now the problem comes and goes. What kind of hardware do you have?

The indexing service is not starting at any time...

I've reinstalled W2K five times now. Each time after 2-3 days of use my primary SCSI drive begins constantly accessing itself for no reason. I look at the task manager and no processes are being used. Boot up takes for ever. I have 256 megs so memory is not the issue. I tried different MB and SCSI bioses, didn't fix it. Linux, Win98 and Win95 all do not have this problem however. I never had this problem with the Beta. Anyone have any ideas?
