What's writing to my disk?

I am running a new installation of Win XP on an Athlon XP system.Several times a day for about 10-15 minutes at a time there is a small amount of writing to the disk. It's barely enough to flicker the hd light and it's sort of rhythmic kind of like a ticking clock. Also, it's not enough to hiccup my pc when I'm playing Links Golf, which I play a lot.
I have all the default processed running in Win XP pro, along with Zone Alarm and NAV. This is just a minor thing but I'm curious.
Any ideas?
Thx
Gary

Since you have ZA and NAV loaded up, it could be either of those, or the processes that run with WinXP.
