Type the following as root and let us know what you get:

#dir
The above should tell you what ide devices are installed. You can then
input the device name into the following, "fdisk -l /dev/device name here"
and that will tell you what partitions reside on that ide device.
Try disabling the screensaver. If that doesn't do it, you can download a
program called WinTop which tells you all processes that are running, even
the hidden system ones.
