I'll bet it wasn't the hard drive -- do you have a 3.5" floppy drive installed?
Since the device detection changes in 6.34, whenever my Kindle2 is connected, Calibre causes attempted "A:\" drive accesses about once a second. It doesn't stop until I eject and then disconnect the Kindle or exit Calibre.
Installing Kovid's patched 6.34 version linked to in this thread does indeed fix the problem with only one or two floppy accesses during detection and then it stops.
