It started around noon today. 2 HDs and at least one of them is almost
constantly in work (I hear this and see blinking activity light). Have
NOD32, some anti-spyware gadgets, ZA firewall, checked (with Task Manager)
listed processes - I'm not an expert but didn't see anything suspicious).
Something, however, is initiated that works all the time. Drive is working
even if I don't work on anything. Any direction where (and how) to look
into this?

Creation of System Restore points and indexing of data files are often done when
the system
is not being used.

Thanks for tip. However, It started to behave like this just recently.
After three total system crashes only this year and losing a lot of archived
files (even backups were corrupted at one time) I'm a little paranoid. I'll
see and this weekend will try to figure out what could possibly change in my
settings/services, etc.
Hopefully everything is ok.

PS. I just received to my inbox direct e-mail from Brian Michalski:
"your paranoid man
from the time you start your comp to the time its shuting down all sorts of
apps like windows or NOD32 are reading the disk to see what to do next every
comp does it
LoL,

Thanks too, Brian. Better to be paranoid then sorry, I think.
LoL.

Thanks, Dave, for diagnosis. Now I'll start to search for a cure.
Cheers.
