i know what hdd you are talking about, but i have never seen that before, could it be that is overheating? i dont thinks hdds have auto off, so prolly not.

have you tried it in another computer?

oh yah, could it be possable that xp's powersaving featurs turn it off? although i dont think you can turn off a harddrive unless the comp is suspended
