DVDRom Worries
I have two harddrives. One is brand new (a Maxtor 160GB) and when I start to access or save new stuff to the new harddrive my DVDRom starts to spin. My question is.........um........why? How are the two even remotely connected? Is there some obvious reason I am overlooking? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks

If your using MS Os's then it's simply the system reading the drive index of any cd/dvd in the drive to see if any data needed can be accessed from their at a faster read rate. Just take the cd out when not needed and the drive won't spin because windows will have no media to bother checking.

"You are corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect, sir!" You are right. I almost always have a disk in my DVDRom drive, either music or a game, but once I took the disk it out it stopped spinning up. Thanks again.
