After installing the Pogoplug beta software on my laptop, the drive started thrashing as the program started indexing my drive.  I wanted to use my laptop, but with the drive thrashing there's no way to do that.  I want to pause the indexing, but there's no way that I've found to do that.

At some point I'm going to simply hibernate my machine and hope that the Pogoplug software behaves itself.  That or kill the hbplug.exe process.
