[newbie] Hard drive light always lit

[Miark]

Hi all,

I dual-boot to Windoze and Mandrake 7.2. In Windoze, the
hard drive light on my case acts as you'd expect, but in
Linux, it _never_ turns off. Does that mean that my drive is
always running, or that the hardware mechanism that controls
the light just loses its mind while running Linux?
