If there's a CD in my Macbook's drive, it spins up any time I invoke the Open or Save dialog in an application. And while it spins up, it freezes the application for about 5 seconds!

How do I make it stop?

I don't think you can make it stop. –  Vervious Jul 14 '11 at 23:15
Why does it spin on Save? You can't save to CDs. Bugs me since 10.3 –  Ruben Oct 27 '11 at 16:13
