When I first fire up my computer, it takes a while for the system to check things and be ready; I understand why that delay occurs. But often I will simply check one email on Yahoo or Gmail and while I am sitting quietly reading that email, I will see the light for the internal hard drive being very active and it will go out to my external hard drive and that light will come on for a long time. Then after several minutes of doing that, the lights will shut off and go quiet. I am curious, what the heck is the computer doing all that time?
