resume from standby doesn't wake HDD

Hi,

Vista x64 SP2 with 500GB Seagate SATA HDD.

I can resume from standby, but it can take up to 10 minutes for it to work
again.

I believe it's the HDD not waking up (powering up) immediately when it
resumes (S3 Hybrid Sleep).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

ED.

Hello, anybody?

Hi,

Possibly the sata drivers for the motherboard aren't responding timely. You
might check for an updated set from the motherboard manufacturer.

Alternately, alter the sleep level in the system BIOS.
