SYMPTOMS
Some computers are equipped with power management features
that place the computer in a suspended power state after a certain period of
inactivity. If the Auto Insert Notification option is enabled for IDE CD-ROM
drives on such a computer, the computer may not be suspended automatically.
CAUSE
Some IDE CD-ROM drives support a polling method that the
power-management components detect as drive activity. It seems that the drive
is still in use, preventing the computer from being suspended.
