When I shutdown or reset windows, the computer pauses on the "windows is shutting down" screen whilst I can hear the HDD spin down.
A few seconds later the HDD spins up again and then down again before the computer switches off.
I don't know if this will wear the drive out quicker or what, but is there any way I can stop this?
I am running windows XP pro, and the disk is an IBM running on a promise Ultra 100 TX2 IDE controller card.
