    just bought this laptop, amazing.

    Only complaint I have is when I unplug the power cord to use this on the battery, the hard drive spins noisy. Not noisy like irritating to the ear, but clearly louder than the almost non-existant noise it has when on AC.

    Is there some power/hard drive setting somewhere that I can change?

    Thanks in advance!

    I am now using my friend's x60 and seems I don't have this problem...
    or it's too minor for me to notice?
