Since I started with Linux I have regular access to the HDD regardless of load etc. The other day playing around with XServer I dicoverd the following that was repeating in sych with the drive read/ access
ATAPI device hdc: Error: Not ready --(Sense key = 0 x 02) (reserved error code) -- (asc = 0 x 3a, ascq = 0 x 01) The failed "Read Cd/ Dvd Capacity" packet command was : "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" System is 350 Pent 2 192 MB RAM 10 GB HDD fd0 3.5 Floppy CD ROM CD RW I presume the system is constantly trying to read my CDRW drive (hdc), but how do I stop it ???
