Thx! How would I go about determining what process is responsible for
the hard drive tie up? Use disk usage counter & compare it to each
process counter at the same time in Performance Monitoring?

I had a similiar (but not the same) problem, server would max out cpu
usage
every few hours for no reason, turned out to be something wrong with the
print spooler service. Deactivated that service and everything works
fine.
(except printing of course, hehe) Could you have some application or
service that is trying to tie up the HDD?
