	My Lacie 120GB external firewire drive boots up whenever I turn on or wake from sleep my flat panel imac 700. Is there a way to have the drive only boot up when I want it to? When I had this drive connected to my slot-loading imac, the drive would only boot up when I asked it to (only when turning it on). I don't like the fact that the drive keeps booting when I don't need to use it.
