All I've been trying to achieve is to get my hard disks to spin down after x amount of time.
 
I also get the following generated in Event Viewer:-
 
The description for Event ID ( 43 ) in Source ( ScsiPwr ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: .
 
I've tried updated my Promise Ultra66 drivers as the default W2K ones apparently don't allow spin-down - the U66 drivers now tell me I've got an Ultra100 but the drivers work.
 
I've also taken out the Ultra66 and used the standard IDE on my ASUS P3B-F, I've also taken out my SCSI card (Tekram DC-310) so I've got no CD-Roms but I still get the error message.
 
Any ideas as to this one?
