[VISTA] Vista Business and Hard Drive Issue

This is the strangest problem I have seen in awhile. The machine I'm
using now is a Tri-Boot machine. XP (pro), Vista Business and Linux. It
has two 320GB drives in it. A newer gerneration WD drive and a older
generation drive. (Both are SATAll's)  

The problem is when I am running Vista. After about five minutes, the
older drive starts clanking and sounds like it is spinning down.
(Whirring sound)  If this happened under the other two OS'es, then I
would conclude that it was a hard drive problem, but it only happens
under Vista. The BIOS is updated. Vista has all the latest and greatest
updates from M$ so I haven't a clue why this is happening. Anyone else
seen/hear of a problem like this? 

TIA


When a computer dies, does it see a blue screen?
