HDD idleing?

Post by fabbe72 »

Hi!

My HDD in my fit-pc2 is having a hard time sleeping. I've set everithing up in Windows power manager and it seems ok, but it never goes to idle or sleep. It keeps on spinning producing sound and heat.

Any ideas on what to try?

No programs running and i'm in Win XP Pro.

Regards

This is usually because Windows is still accessing the hard disk.

services.msc:
disable event log, task scheduler, any virus scanner

msconfig also contains checkboxes for startup items
