[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1751681, member: 46727"] First... moved your post here to the "Other Hardware........ forum as it is not a switcher subject. As to your question: Make sure before doing anything else that you backup your data. As to the hard drive spinning, it may be that Spotlight is indexing or that you have some other process running in the background. Go into your power settings (System Preferences -> Energy Saver) and check to see if you have selected the option to put hard drives to sleep when possible. If not, select it and then put your iMac to sleep to see if the hard drive turns off and sleeps along with the system. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
