Strange disk acceses under win2k.

Occasionally - I get bouts of bizarre disk accesses under win2k, and have been unable to locate which process is doing it. Basically the drive keeps chugging away for about 1 second, then pauses for a second then repeats - this can go on for ages, and is usually only stopped by rebooting.

It is worrying, because when it has happened, I have killed off any processes I know are unnecessary, and stopped likewise services, yet it still continues.

So basically, my question is - Is there a way to check which processes are making disk access, and which files they are accessing?
