Perhaps one of the sysinternals tools, probably "Disk Monitor", or maybe
"Process Monitor" which has logging capabilities, might help more than Task

DiskMon for Windows
DiskMon is an application that logs and displays all hard disk activity on
a Windows system. You can also minimize DiskMon to your system tray where
it acts as a disk light, presenting a green icon when there is disk-read
activity and a red icon when there is disk-write activity.
