Thanks Steven, updated and working well....

Thanks for this Steven. How can you tell which Matrix you have please ?

Hope that helps...

I thought I would try reloading the OS (MatrixTV latest version) however it sits on the Jumping to OS image message...

Update, left XMBC running, went to the supermarket and when I got back both disks were idling.
So either hpdarm worked despite the error message or the drives go into idle after some period anyway....
Bottom line is that they're not going to be spinning all night so I'm a happy chappy.
