[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 400751, member: 83973"] As you have three hard disks in the system, you should be able to concentrate all the frequent 'active' file access (system, MP database, timeshift etc) on one disk and let XP spin down the others when they are idle (the 'power options' control panel). I recently added a 2.5" 250GB laptop hard disk to my system (very quiet and low power), moved Windows and the TV recording folder etc. over to it and let Vista spin down the other 3.5" 500GB drive after 5 minutes of idleness - much quieter overall :) Tony [/QUOTE]
