stop chugging hard drive

Hi,

I have installed 10g with the default options and the hard drive is now continually chugging away in my ear even when no database transactions are active - which is getting on my nerves.

I had set the DB up previously and I had turned off rollback segments or redo logs - something like that I can't remember - and the drive only activated when the DB was actually processing transactions..

Cna anyone remind me what I must do to the DB to stop the continual disk access?
