Hi there. I've got two external hard disks rarely used but they always need to be accessible to the network. when i connect them to a vista machine, they spin down when not in use (but spin right back up when i try to access them).
In xp though, they stay running. all the time. and i've enabled the powermagement to turn them off when not in use.
both systems are laptops, the only difference i can see is that on the XP machine they are shared whereas when on the vista machine they weren't shared.
anyone know how to do this in xp?
