Windows XP SP2
My current power scheme has the following settings:
"Turn off monitor" after 20 minutes
"Turn off hard disks" atfer 25 minutes]
"System standby" after 30 minutes
If I walk away from my PC and return about an hour later, I hear one of
my hard drives whirring away at a very high speed.
I have two physical hard drives; I don't know which one is doing this.
If I jiggle my mouse, it stops. Thus, I can't use the Performance
Monitor to determine which drive.
Why is this happening? Can I do anything to prevent it?

Don't ask "Why is there road rage?" Instead, ask
"Why NOT Road Rage?" or "Why Is There No Such
Thing as Fast Enough?"
