i found ton of posts ppl talking about vista trashing hard drive due to some search indexing or something. NOt sure why caz i have it disabled..
Anyway my problem is not the same, instead i want my hard drive to run all the time like they did back in windows XP.
Because W7 stops my hard drives to spin (some say it still providing data ? it does but very little stored in cache or ram) i cant load my programs instantly like i did with XP.
I cant even access any folders, i have to wait for hard drive to start spinning and it takes about 2-3 seconds (slow as hell)
I have 5 hard drives and shortcuts leading to multiple programs/games/URL links and documents. Problem is that then i try to access any of them, it takes a while before simple TXT file loads.
Is there a fix or a way to stop windows 7 to prevent HDD from spinning ?
People talk about having some kind of program run all the time making sure hdd done stop. I cant run 5 apps on 5 hdd's at once, that would be stupid.
Also they say to try changing power option. There is no HDD spin option in advanced menu, only turn off after "Never"
Weird
