after about 10 minutes or so, my back up hard drives shut down.
now the drives have all been scanned recently (about a week ago) and all is fine as far as the drives themself goes.
I also havent had any problems with these drives on XP64, which I just replaced today for testing reasons, and use Vista 64 now...
however, now my back up hard drives are being shut down after a few minutes of no use.
I got so tired of trying to figure out whats going on, that I took a spare hard drive, set it up... booted up the OS, and waited for the "Click-Whirrr" sound that normally would happen when a hard drive and PC are shut down.
sure enough, even with my spare hard drive, it shuts the drive down after about 10 minutes.
so I've confirmed this happens with 3 different drives so far...
a 400 gig western digital, a 500 gig western digital, and 160 gig seagate.
all drives are fine, and work like normal under XP and such...
however in vista, it seems to be clock work. 10 minutes and it shuts down the back up drives.
I mean, physically click off.
try to access them, and they "whirrrrr" back on, as if the PC was booting them up, and about 5 seconds later, they become accessable.
what is this?
I've never seen this...
