Read title... Vista likes shutting down my drives and it locks my computer up for a few seconds every so often and really annoys me. I've never seen this happen in XP before. Is there an easy fix I am not seeing?
Head to the device manager and check the power profile on the hard drives or the controllers under the properties menus. Something along the lines of "Allow windows to power down this device to save power."
Never been on vista but is there a time limit that when being in an idle state exceding that time limit it shuts down a hard drive? To save power like Thrax mentioned.

Unfortunately there is no such option, but I did check again.
Remove the vista infection and install windows XP.
hehe... XP is installed, I'm just "trialing" Vista, and I only have *caugh* 8 days left *caugh* so...
I'd really like to get a couple of these vista annoyances cleared up, I'm sure it's possible, or will be eventually, unless Micro$oft are a$$e$, oh wait, nevermind...
