Its the time the hard drive spends reading and writing. and measured as a percentage. The more processes you have running in the background, the higher the Disk Active time. Sometimes you'll hear a term called "disk thrashing" which is where the HD spends an exceedingly amount of read/write time. This can be caused by such processes as "Superfetch" or having Automatic defragmenting running. Disk Active time is viewed by entering Perfmon in the Start Menu. :-)

What is the process to bring a computer to its usual state?
If a process requests something for which it must wait, it will be blocked. When the process is in the Blocked State, it is eligible for swapping to disk, but this is transparent in avirtual memory system, where blocks of memory values may be really on disk and not in main memory at any time. Note that even unused portions of active processes/tasks (executing programs) are eligible for swapping to disk. All parts of an executing program and its data do not have to be in physical memory for the associated process to be active.

This is most likely the Control Bus the will send a signal to the CPU that the disk drive became active. If you noticed, eveytime you insert a CD, in Windows, a dialog pops up asking the user what to do. This occurs because the controller for this device sends that signal through the Control Bus which interupts the CPU.
