CD Drive Spinning
At random times my CDROM drive will spin up and never stop.
This has happened with various OS's and the only common factor I think is the AV.
I reckon that the AV is detecting that there is a CD in the drive and spinning it up to check it.
Having fired it up it never stops spinning unless I open and close the drawer.
I know the easy answer is to remove the CD but I leave it in there as it's usually the CD for the latest game I'm playing. When I start playing the game it does spin up momentarily but then stops when authenticity has been detected.
I could do with a simple desktop utility to stop it spinning - any ideas ?
