Hard Drive Spinning when watching DVD Movie

[latino17]

Can anyone tell me how to stop my hard drive from spinning while I watch a DVD Movie on that same pc?
I'm using windows 98 SE, and have tried using both Power DVD and Actual Player 2.0 to see which one might be causing the problem. But both of them works fine but still spins my hard drive as soon as the movie starts.
Please help.

To turn off File Indexing, right click on your drive select properties, and on the general tab, deselect the "allow indexing service to index...".
You might also check the DMA settings in Device Manager. Jordan MCP, A+
