In Windows Explorer, right click on the drive and select Properties. On the firsr tab, General, right at the bottom, ensure Index this drive for faster searching is NOT checked. If it is, each time you connect it, Windows will check to see which files have changed, been added, deleted etc.

Hi,
My WD2500 250G USB drive does things with Vista that annoy me:
-the drive starts spooling up/spinning even if I have not made any
read/write requests from it
-while it's spooling up, is slows down Vista severely, causing me to want to
Eject it
-while the drive is spinning, I can't safely eject, error, drive is in use
by another program, even when I have no programs running, or files open.
Can you help?

Thanks
