This is a general problem and not related to the changes made by MCSE.
I have always wonder why the BenQ flashers seemingly leave the IDE bus always active ie. after doing a flash, the IDE activity LED is always lit until a reboot is done. Irritates me enough to do a reboot - I use S3 sleep so reboots are otherwise rather rare on my PC.

The next time, I am going to try the disable/enable manoeveur to see this will get rid of the always on IDE LED.
