I have an old noisy HD 😱 on my system that I only use for backups. The high-pitch noise is driving me mad. Is there a way to stop the disk running, without affecting the way my other HD runs? 😕 In power options any setting seems to apply to all drives together. Or is the only way to turn it off in BIOS?
My system:
Win XP-Pro, Pentium IV 2,60 GHz, MSI Mobo 850-Max, 512 MB Rimm, 80 GB HD@7200, 16 GB HD@3600. DVB, DVD, CDWR, 17" LCD monitor. 2-puter LAN with shared internet connection via satellite, 1500 kbps down. 128 kbps up (RDSI using 2*64K B-channels). ISP = SatSpeed+. Connection via satellite is assisted with active-prefetching (nothing to do with windows-prefetching). The second comp in my LAN is identical, but P IV @ 2.80 GHz with 256 MB dram.
I thought i'd just state all that since this is only my second post on the forum.
