Hey, thanks for this link.  I had (have?) no idea that my emachines AMD Windows
system is SMART-equipped (if that's the proper tech-y terminology.) I too have
noticed some hard-drive 'behavior' when it's just sitting idle (and off-line).
Always wondered what it could be--thinking there was something bad about to
happen!

I need to read up on this stuff.
