Start / Run / perfmon

You'll be in the "Reliability and Performance Monitor".

Click the arrow on the right, pointing down, next to "Disk". You'll

If you're running legacy versions of Windows, Process Explorer from
Microsoft Sysinternals offers the same functionality, albeit with less
integration.
