I do not know about the cable-cut suggestion but my Quantum Fireball 3.2Gb IDE drive also powers down every few mins - very annoying. Power saving is turned off in my BIOS and I have no Power icon in Win 95 Control Panel. Neither of my other two drives power down so it looks like a setting on the drive. There is nothing mentioned in the manual so I am trying to contact Quantum. > This is really, really bad advice. The power-down is done by software > and can be turned off by disabling power management in your system > BIOS and in Windows 95, either in the APM "system device" setting > in the Device Manager, or the Power applet in the Control Panel. -- R ---------------------------------------- Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that everyone isn't out to get you. ---------------------------------------- If you are having problems mailing me take the .nospam off the end of my email address.
