I have a similiar(spinning HDD when I don't want it to) problem when doing the same thing with all of the powerbooks I have owned (three 5300's, a 3400 and currently a Kanga). The workaround I have found for the spinning hard drive is to use the control strip to spin down the hard drive, then drag the drive to the trash. This doesn't delete anything on the drive, and the hard drive no longer spins after that (I have been able to get around 9 hours of battery life on a single charge this way)
