Basically I have to hard drives in my computer one of which is very noisy and I don't use very often so I'd like to turn it off when I'm not using it. |

Well no u cant then. Only way to do that, is take it out altogether, or replace it with a better hard drive |

Then what are these other guys talking about with Utilities that you can spin down your hard drive with. |

I would try the timeout setting that Alan suggested. If you aren't using the noisy disk at all, it might be idle long enough to be shut down. The reason that it doesn't seem to work for most people would be that Windows is frequently accessing the hard disk if the user is doing anything. It might be accessing the system disk frequently anyway. |
