MORE INFORMATION
The Hard Disk Drive Low Power mode in Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 is
a power-saving feature that "spins down" an IDE hard disk after it is idle
for a predetermined amount of time.
To modify this setting, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click Power.
- Click the Disk Drives tab.
- Modify the appropriate settings:
- To disable Hard Disk Drive Low Power mode when you are using AC
power, Click the "When powered by AC power" check box to clear it
- To disable Hard Disk Drive Low Power mode when you are using
batteries, click the "When powered by batteries" check box to clear
it.
- You can also adjust the time the hard disk drive must remain idle
before it is placed in Low Power mode.
Note that this feature is not available on computers that use SCSI hard
disks and controllers as the primary disk and controller type and that
do not contain any IDE controllers.
