Whenever I do a shutdown the power to the hardrive doesn't turn off, it goes through the shutdown procedure but the hard drive still runs?

Just the hard drive runs?

Is it just spinning, or is the hard drive light on?

Or, do I mis-understand you, and the PC restarts instead of shutting down?

Please give us some details:
Version of Windows
Make and model of the PC or major components

What exactly happens when you shut down?
Does the PC shut down and then start right back up?
Does the PC shut down, the monitor goes blank, and something is on that leads you to conclude that the hard drive is running?
