See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Q] is it possible to disable powersaver mode (i.e. set to drain) whenever the unit is running off the A/C Adapter? [Q] How does one get the disk to spin down automatically if AC adaptor is plugged in? It would seem that the system goes into "drain mode" any time the adaptor is plugged in - and of course, you cant change any of the values in drain mode. I'm also still looking for some sort of TSR to spindown the hard drive given some key combination. Does a program exist, can it be written? [A] From: "Liu, Bin" <BinL@AMB.NIDDK.NIH.GOV> Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 16:48:00 -0500 Yes, there is a utility to spin down the hard disk. It can be found at ftp.compaq.com. I have called Compaq and found out that the softpage number for HDSDOWN3.COM is SP0414. I have it installed in my machine. Apparently, the utiluty is only working with DOS not with Windows. The Compaq support technichian had confirmed this.
