SATA drives - won't spin down . . .

Greetins all,

On a Window 2000 Pro box, when I visit "Power Options" in the controller
panel and set a time for "Turn off hard drives",
I find that my SATA drives do not obey - they never spin down.

Question:
What is responsible for this fault? Is it a Windows problem, or is it a
noncompliant SATA controller or driver?

Is there a work-around?

Thanks all,

- Stan Shankman
