i have two HardDrives-one with windows vista on and the other has only my music and pictures.

after awhile when not using anything on that HardDrive (one with music & pictures on)it powers down. then when i want to view or use anything on that HardDrive it powers back up but there is a 4second lag while it spins up (due to system specs)

Help me turn this setting off please

am sure we all like the sound of a western powering up but its getting annoying now
