iastor.sys is the intel matrix storage manager driver file. You may be able to start and stop it but once windows loads it's always running anyways if you have a HDD controller that needs it.

This file was made by Intel to give Windows more access to the harddrive. It is a file that Dell machines will request upon an installation of windows xp.
