HD light blinking kb#
I had been concerned about my hard disk light blinking
every few seconds. FYI, I found a kb article,KB138598, called "Disk Drive or CD-ROM Access Light Blinks Every Few Seconds". The CAUSE section includes this line: "If your computer contains a SCSI controller, Windows polls the SCSI bus periodically to determine the status of the bus and the devices that are installed on the bus. On some computers, the disk drive access light on the front panel turns on when any SCSI device, or the SCSI bus itself, is accessed. On these computers, the disk drive access light turns on each time Windows polls the SCSI bus." Under STATUS it says that the "...behavior is by design." There is a fix if the CDROM light blinks, however. Harriet |
