From: rossk on
I get this message once and awhile should i be concerened now?

"The following disk has low idle time, which may cause slow response
time when reading or writing files to the disk.

Disk: 0 C:

Review the Disk Transfers/sec and % Idle Time counters for the
PhysicalDisk performance object. If the Disk Transfers/sec counter is
consistently below 150 while the % Idle Time counter remains very low
(close to 0), there may be a problem with the disk driver or hardware.

If the review shows that the disk is functioning properly, use Task
Manager to determine which processes are causing the majority of the
disk activity. You can attempt to correct the problem by stopping and
then restarting those processes.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change
Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and
Reporting taskpad."

This is the second time in 3 months I have seen this for the main
drive, maybe the 1st. I have gotten it for another internal drive
maybe 2 times or 3. If so does that mean the drives are failing?

Thanks

From my Experience you shouldn't be getting these.

What kind of Drives are they?
and how many users are on your Domain and what kind of access are they
doing?

And how much RAM in your system and what is the size of your page file?

From: rossk on
3 GB is the total, I do NOT have the 3GB switch becuase I am also
running exchange or at least thats why I think so. The system knwos 3
GB so I do not get the warning of "there is an application taking up
too much memory". Page file I forgot? Where do I check that again?
Thanks!
