    Hey guys I have several internal drives in my comp with one boot drive running W7 and I want the non-boot drives to shutdown after a some time. I changed my power options to power down idle drives after 10 minutes but they are still running after 10 minutes. I assumed it was for NON-SYSTEM drives i.e. the drive I booted off of.

    Am I missing something? :)
