Well it spins up even without a disc in the drive actually. It is just quieter and it realizes pretty soon there isn't a disc so it stops. If you have a disc in there, well you know what happens. There is nothing I know of to stop it from spinning up the drive when you turn it on. Although changing the boot order in the BIOS might speed things up for you. That way it doesn't try to boot from a non-bootable DVD. Other than that, I leave the drive door opened a little bit. It never spins that way. If you are going to move around with the laptop, probably best to close it until it is stationary once again. -- Bill Thunderbird Portable 3.0 (20091130)

That way it doesn't try to boot from a non-bootable DVD. I can hear it not only when booting up, but also when the system is running, every now and then randomly. I really wonder... perhaps an overactive McAfee? -- regards, |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os
