Sleepy HD...
My harddisk goes to PowerSave mode without
me wanting it to.
Everything in the BIOS and Software doing
with powersave is disabled, so it's a
hardware setting.
The disk is a Quantum Fireball 4.3 Ultra-ATA.
Anyone knows how to disable the PowerSave???

Quantums WILL hibernate, you cannot disable it :(

There HAS to be a way.
I had a Seagate before. That one didn't sleep. Then I was
messing with my BIOS and tried to turn PowerSave on. BIG
mistake. The Seagate started to sleep every now and then,
so I turned off the PowerSave in the BIOS again. BIGGER
mistake! The Seagate crashed after a couple of weeks. So
I exchanged it for a Quantum.
Sleepy disks are SO annoying. Let's sue all the disc-manufacturers! I loose 3 sec's of productivity every time
my harddisk goes to sleep. So in a year that would make almost two hours. With all the millions of harddiscs out there one should be able to sue those bastards out of millons of dollars...!
