    Sorry to ask this which is probably redundant, but
    my M1330, either the hard drive or fan is running all the time.

    Is there a way to stop the fan, is it suppose to run all the time?
    Thanks for any information or pointing me in a direction where I
    can get it.

    Better to run on low and keep it cool then not run at all and stay hot.
