Indexing in SBS2003

I have purchase a new HP server running sbs2003 and have setup a RAID for the
2 hard disks that came with the server and they have been setup to mirror
each other. From time to time the sever runs really slowly and I noticed this
was happening when the server was trying to Index. I disabled windows search
as I believed this may have been causing this to happen. When the server was
trying to index it would slow all access to the server down to a snails pace.

I noticed that on the drive if you select properties there was an option
checked to allow the index service to index this desk for fast searching.

Since i have done that I dont get the delay waiting for files to open etc as
much but I still get it from time to time and its really slow. I still get
down the bottom right hand corner a magnifine glass with the message saying
waiting to receive index status. I thought I had turned that off.

We do run SQL 2005 for our Great Plains software on this server but I doubt
that is slowing down the access to the server.

Any help to try and work out what is causing the server to delay opening
files and sometimes saying that the clients outlook cannot connect to
exchange would be great.

Thanks
