Why do the HD run so fast when you run a end-less loop (no window program).  I did a simple back: xor eax, eax jump back.  I know it's h*ll on the processer but i thought programs were loaded to memory.  but this seen to be running from HD.  Do anyone understand whats this all about.  Thanks for any info.  I don't understand.

I think what he's trying to say is that when he runs code with an endless loop in it, his HDD runs like crazy, and he's wondering why that happens.

Sounds like some kind of memory/stack pooling issue and the PC is paging 'memory' to disk. Maybe. Of course, he could be using DOS for all we know... :P
