D:drive has Photoshop on it and sometimes I load a game on it. I don't use it hardly ever.
Why is it spinning for 45 minutes now?
Why does that make me uneasy?
I don't run any scheduled maintainence on it.

It's the C:drive from my old computer.
I erased a lot of stuff on it.
It sounds different from the new C:drive.
I can't imagine why it would spin for so long.
Is the XP firewall any good?

K, the D: drive may be where your paging file is.
Go to the control panel, select System and select the Advanced option. Then click the Settings button under performance and then select the Advanced tab. At the bottom you will see where you can change what disk is used to scratch on. Photoshop also has a place under Preferences where you can select where the program will write scratch data. Also, is the D: drive slaved off of the C: drive, the master on the secondary IDE, or slaved off the CDROM?

I can't leave the computer off more than 2-4 hours when I'm awake.
I could undo the ribbon cable though.
