My HDD light sometimes sticks on from the moment the Windows XP startup screen appearsand won't go out until I cut electricity, it's so harmful for the mainboard and hard disk. Then I turn on computer again, i see a screen with 'SAFE MODE' and some other options to choose from.
I've seen posts on this issue but have been unable to find a solution, and would really prefer to know what the HDD is doing. Unfortunatly I can't when there is no drive in there or I add a second battery.
Any ideas would be a great help.
Thankyou

now Win XP Service Pack 2 has nothing to do with it, the problem still exists
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
i turned on the computer, when the Windows XP logo appeared for the 1st time, the monitor became black at once, the keyboard light was on, the power light was on, and the HDD light was staying on. then the computer didn't give any response unless i cut the electricity.
by the way, How harmful is it to cut electricity while HDD light is on??
