Re: Burning DVD's ?'s

[Glenn Schunemann]

This also used to happen to me when I was still on dialup. There is a 
setting in the Energy Saver System Pref to "Put hard drives to sleep 
when possible." Uncheck that and it should not spin the drives down any 
more. Also, set the slider for "Never" for computer sleep. The same can 
be done in 10.2 but the wording is different.

Apple defaults the energy saver settings to 5 minutes for monitor and 
hard drive. What a pain. With some folks still using dialup and with 
60-80 MB OS X updates you'd think they'd set the hard drive to never 
spin down. When I had dialup, the computer did not see a download as a 
good enough reason to stay awake. Dumb.
