Re: Hard Drive won't stop spinning

Hard drives spin up and spin down all the time, for many legitimate reasons.

The HD on my laptop sometimes starts spinning but won't stop unless I reboot. I'm looking for some advice on how to identify the cause. I've run services.msc to get a list of started items (I've listed them at the end of this post) and want to know what else I can do to see what might be going on.

Thanks for any advice
