You can check for and repair errors on the disk with:
chkdsk /f /r
If the drive you are wanting to check is not your system driver, then you will have to provide the drive letter (with colon) after the 'chkdsk' part of the string. Hopefully this check will not return anything, but it's a good start. I would also check system files for missing/corrupted files with:
sfc /scannow
Like chkdsk, this will likely return nothing. If you want, you can open task manager and start killing nonessential processes until the disc activity drops. Also see to it that the drive driver is totally up to date. Trying to update the driver from Device Manager should suffice. Unfortunately, there is likely a program that is causing all of this disk activity and it's up to you to find it.
PS Seagate Barracuda drives are trash. If you want any integrity in the hard drives you use, drop the extra $$ and go with WD, HGST, or Seagate's SSHD. Just food for thought
I tried to run the chkdsk /f /r but it just told me :The type of the file system is NTFS. cannot lock current drive." "Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) I said yes and will restart get the results if I can, and post back here after I finish the sfc /scannow.
Yeah, Windows has to dismount the drive before checking it, and as a system drive, it cannot do that while the system is in use.
EDIT
Also, how much system memory do you have? Does this 100% disc activity only occur when playing games?
I have 8GB of DDR3 currently, and it seems to only happen during games, however it may happen at other times and I just dont notice it because, who sees a fps drop when reading something online or looking at their steam library. Also, I have 1 internal drive in my system and 1 external one, but all that is really on there is some games, however It is full, because of how small it is, I don't have anywhere to back my files up to, for who ever was asking.
Also, I ran it and it gave me a huge file, it ended up saying: " Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently supported in offline servicing scenarios. have not yet restarted for that other thing.
EDIT: my main drive has about 375GB free out of it's 1TB
If you want to look up what the irrepairable problem listed in CBS.log is, you can copy CBS.log to the desktop and open it with a text editor. It's not a good sign that Windows found corruption in the system files, and worse that it could not fix something. I hope we can figure out what it is
