Default HD's going to sleep / power settings adjusted


"Lynkdev" wrote in message
...

I have my power setting set to high performance and also the HD sleep is
set to never. Still though after 10 mins of not using the comp, the HD's
go to sleep and it takes like 10 secs for my computer to load the hard
drives after waiting for them to start up again.


Am i doing something wrong?

There are more settings available for each of the power plans. Click on
"Change Plan settings" and then click the link for "Change advanced power
settings". In the list of settings you'll see a Hard Disk section with
options to "Turn off hard disk after" xMinutes for either Battery or Plugged
in.

Click on either one of those settings to get the time selector box and then
scroll down the time setting value to the bottom until it says "Never".
That should hopefully fix you up.
