uhm, how do i check for high disk usage in task manager of windows 7? i cant seem to find it
all i can see is cpu usage, process and memory

ah rats... i forgot win 7 doesn't have that

increase the size of the disk activity window in the pic you posted

sort the 'read' column with highest at the top, check what's running

then do the same for the 'write' column
