I have a 10+ year old Dell that came with about 960 GB HDD. I have
since added about 240 GB Kingston SSD to serve as C: and D: , and a
about 500 GB external SSD to handle all the stuff that was on the 960
HDD . The 960 HDD now serves no usefull purpose, yet continues to fire
up at various odd times. How can I stop this ? I don't see anything in
the BIOS. Running good old and well behaved Windows 7 BTW.

It looks like all I had to do, is Disable it, in the Device Manager.
Now it's not showing in the Explorer and not Firing-Up.
