Turning off USB ports when t60p is in standby mode?
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 4:54 pm
I am running a t60p 2007 with XP SP2.
I've done some searching and I have been finding people who want to leave there USB ports on, but I want the exact opposite. I don't want my USB powered hard drive spinning "all night long" (sorry lionel) with the computer in standby mode. Apparently in Windows 7 it turns it off, so there must be some feature hidden in the power manager that I didn't see...but I have looked far and wide for a solution to this minor problem, including looking in the BIOS settings, and I have been unsuccessful in finding anything.
Anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks
Andrew
