If you've recently installed Vista then that's normal. Vista likes to shuffle files for sometime.

You mean Vista tries to somehow defragment the drive by itself?

You can say that. It indexes files.
To the OP, leave your system ON for a while, it will settle down upon completion.

Check to make sure that Disk Defrag is not scheduled and running. To do this, 1) click the Start Menu, 2) in the Search field, type "defrag", 3) the Disk Defrag window should be displayed, 4) check to make sure the "Run on a Schedule" checkbox is UNCHECKED.

Hmm ermm... indexing is not at all defraging actually...
