Re: FN-FORUM: External hard drive - how to stop "spin-down"?

date posted 22nd August 2007 19:51

Tried just now although I think I only forbidden other devices such as
mouse, keyboard to be turned off by Windows, there is no such option
for "USB Mass Storage Device".

Anyway, I tried and that bloody hard drive spun down again :)

I give up...
