If you have OSR-2 (the latest Windows 95 version) there should be an option
in the control panel called Power that lets you specify the minutes before
powering down the hard disk. This is separate from the power management in
the BIOS. I think if you give that HD some rest when you aren't really
using it, it should extend the life of it, just as long as you don't cycle
it too much. I have mine set for 1 hour. If in one hour, I haven't used the
hard disk, most likely it should be off.

There is an option in my BIOS to power down the hard disks after so many
minutes
of inactivity.  I don't want this to happen, as I'm sure it's wearing out
the
motor spinning up and down every 20 minutes, and it's annoying having to
wait 5
seconds every so often when I access a not-recently used drive.  If I
disable
the sleep function in the BIOS, it still does it.  Any way around this??
