ermmm...dumb question....

[tesco]

ya that's usually the hard drive making teh click noise when u shutdown.

for a brief period about a month or soomething ago I kept getting that same problem except that my whole computer would lock up after the drive came back on...
then it just went away after a while.

guess i could get started on that....but man oh man teh laziness

Could I request of you to cease the "hehe's" they make my brain hurt.

Check your "power options" in control panel, it could simply be that it is turning your drive off because the power setting has timed out. Check the same thing in your bios setup too.

If you've got more than one HDD, one of them may power down while the other stays running, in that situation you would not notice any delay unless your program was specifically waiting for data from the stopped drive.

BTW, the brakes only come on after power has been removed. Otherwise you would be waiting ages for the drive to stop. With the new FD bearings they could keep spinning for hours without any power supplied.

Not to try and scare you or anything, but if a hard drive often makes clicking noises while it's trying to access data its often a sign it's on it's way out....may just be powering down though.
