Thanks Steve! But, I tried that, and got a warning that that control panel wouldn't work on this computer (seems to me to be more of a laptop type of control panel)...maybe a reboot after moving it back might help. >But why would you want to leave your HD spinning all >the time?

It may be a good thing, but when you only plan to be on the computer for a couple hours on and off, it can be irritating. Besides, the hard drive really doesn't use too much power. Now the monitor is a different story. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!
