Some software (such as VMWare) will only work with ACPI disabled anyway. Even in our Mac labs here, we disable all Energy Saver settings - it just isn't worth the hassle, especially when there isn't much to gain on a Desktop machine, IMHO.

I will give that a try.

Thank you for your help!

I'm hardly on expert on these sorts of things, but I *believe* that
ACPI is responsible for power management stuff, including possibly
spinning down your hard drive after inactivity. Try restarting with
ACPI enabled (which you can do on your boot menu), or disable ACPI
within your BIOS for a while to see if this helps.. certainly can't
hurt to try.

So ACPI is disabled?
I'm assuming it's enabled.  Can that be a problem?
