What is it that's booting up my external hard drives?
Hi,
I currently have two USB hard drives (1TB WD - 1TB Maxtor) which both power down after 5 minutes of inactivity or so.
However, every now and again one of them will boot up and begin spinning while the computer is still sitting idle. I've had a look at MSCONFIG/Task Manager and cant see anything obvious which would be responsible for this behaviour. Is there any way I can determine which process is causing the drives to power up again? A utility for example that could detail which processes are linked to each device?
Many thanks.
