Script request.

[FormulaUno]

I don't know if this should be posted here. My laptop has 2 Western Digital drivers that spin down every half a minute when there is no activity. I configured windows to keep the hard drives active all the time but it didn't help. During gaming there are 5 second freezes when the game tries to access one of the hard drives. So I thought maybe someone can create a script that edits and overwrites a notepad file every 5 seconds so the hard drive wouldn't spin down. Anything that isn't CPU intensive to keep the hard drives busy.

Batch file:

:redo
echo writing > %HOME%\temp.txt
ping -n 25 127.0.0.1
goto redo

ping -n is a hack for sleep. Make sure you don't have anything important in %HOME%\temp.txt before you start.

It works but it's pinging the C drive. I need it to ping the D drive.

EDIT:Nevermind I just needed to put it in D.
