I have mine set the the default ( I think 5 or 10 minutes for spin down) and I also disabled the hd activity lights (settings are in software) to minimize power usage since I am not using any external power. I ejected my drive first then went to the factory reset option from the touch menu(If you use the reset button I think you have to hold it down for 15 seconds or more to do a full factory reset). Because it was easier for me, I took the hard drive to my computer and deleted the .squeezebox folder so it would rebuild it from scratch when I reconnected it. I then plugged the drive back into the Touch and waited for the scan to complete before I started using it. Also, I only have music files (50 gigs) on my drive. Have not had problems since then. -- zen2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zen2000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78323 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
