HDD light stays on when returning from sleep   
Hi,

I have a very small problem on a MSI motherboard running under Vista
Home Premium (SP1). When the machine returns from "Sleep" or
"Hibernate" the drive LED stays on permanently. Nothing I can do will
return it to the normal 'on and off' state except a reboot. There are
no other problems so I can live with this but would rather not.

Any ideas? May be this is normal as I think I have seen it on another
machine running under XP.


TIA - Joe

I have the same problem on my Vaio VGN-Z11VN/B, but it resolved when I 
reinstalled windows vista (I needed to upgrade to 64 bits anyway). This might 
indeed indicate a driver problem.
