    If its a new install, its the OS indexing itself for faster search stuff.
    Shocking..... that MS would require a clean install of Vista to index itself as if it didn't know what files it installed, but i've heard the process can take up to 3 days.

    To be honest, I'd prefer fast install and HDD going wild for the next 2-3 days, if the alternative is a slow installation taking 2-3 hours - just because I need the system up and running ASAP, and the indexing process doesn't really annoy me since it stays at the lowest priority possible.

    If its search indexing...

    (1) Open the "Indexing Options" applet in the Control Panel and:
    (2) Click the "Advanced" tab
    (3) Click on "File Types" and select/deselect indexing services or Click
    "Modify" to include/exclude folder indexing.

    shamelessly ripped from someplace that i cant remember.

    Additionally... Vista x64 rocks. Can't really speak to x86, since I haven't ever used it.
