    to be honest mines does this too, ive tried every known thing to get it to stop ,with mine if i switch box off and go to say watch my media centre after about 5 mins it switches off thats when i know the hdd has stopped on my 600, ive been onto every forum known to man and no one has an answer for me

            most hard drives these days you can download auto spindown options when there not in use from there support sites

            must admit ive never even seen a D box so dont know what kind of drive is in there im sure you will sort it farther ted have faith

                have u installed any epg plugins or maybe picions onto /hdd ? as everytime u change channel itl need to access /hdd u see could be that causing it to startup
                log into your dreambox webif and play with hard drive settings (under config tab) may be able to stop it from there


                cheers
