Seagate IDE Momentus spins down and immediately up again
My new 2.5" Seagate IDE ST92011A Momentus drive regularly spins down and
immediately spins up again, this can happen multiple times per minute. My Windows Power Management is configured to spin down the disk after 15 minutes. Running Seagate's Seatool diagnostics software shows no errors. Anyone know what could be causing this? The drive is in an old ATA33 laptop, I use Seagate's Dynamic Drive Overlay to circumvent the bios HD size addressing limitation, the OS is W98. The system bios's own power management is disabled, the system is ACPI & APM capable, ACPI is enabled in the bios. -- Spartanicus |
