PSP x4 seems to activate my external hard drive

Post by cornflakes »

I have a 2nd hard drive that is connected to the mobo as I use it as an "external" drive.
Most of the time, I don't need to access or use the 2nd hard drive as its a backup drive so it will go into standby or shutoff automatically when not in use.

But everytime i turn on corel PSP program, it turns on my 2nd hard drive. I can hear the drive booting up and spinning. It's really annoying cuz I don't want to keep having it turned on everytime I open my psp program. I'm not using psp to access any files from my 2nd hard drive either. It must be some sort of configuration setting that makes psp activate my 2nd hard drive everytime i open it.

Does anyone know?

Have you tried 'Files/preferences/general program preferences/manage' and add the external drive to 'uncataloged folders'? No guarantees, it's Corel after all. Good luck.
