Could be indexing service.

1. Click on the Start Button and enter Indexing Options. Hit Enter and Indexing Options should load.

2. Click on Modify, followed by Show all locations.

3. Scroll through the tree and uncheck all options except the Start Menu.

Indexing is not running so it says.
 
I was thinking about the XP 256 ram box I was setting up the other day and at the Windows Update site, under preferences it was set to include all MS programs. That box would run and run and run and flash and flash until I gave up andf cancelled it. Turned off all MS updates and it updated lickety split. I wonder if that what was happening here. Since turning off task scheduler and updating it doesn't flash anymore.

Good idea but gosh, that shouldn't have been running in safe mode. Given that it was it's got to be a core service that runs in both modes.

Things have quited down now and the hd has stopped flashing.
 
 Now Isass is r/w but the hd is not flashing.

I agree with you. There are no major differences in installing vista or other operating system to the computer. If one have installed windows once in a life he can easily install vista as well.
