Normally when you put your computer to just sit there and do nothing, nothing should be accessing the hard disk. My hard disk clicks about once or twice a minute and this was preventing my hard disk to spin down whenever possible.

Further inspection in Activity Monitor shows me that in fact, the disk activity does spike once in a while, and it's red meaning it's not a user process.

I just reformatted my hdd today and reinstalled a fresh copy of panther and it still didn't solve the problem. I ran the hardware test and it says my hardware has no problems. I reset the power manager, booted into open firmware and typed reset-all, and reset the pram.

still the proble is there.


What's going on?

Please help, it's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!
