I have an old computer on which the HD from the motherboard is always on. 
I think it did not happen until I added a second disk, but I'm unsure. I 
have changed the HDs several times on that machine (bigger sizes), and 
some of those had a LED on the HD itself, and this one was off most of the 
time. So in my case it is somehow related to the board.

However, if my memory is correct, I think the LED wasn't on full time in 
windows (95), but I'm not going to boot it to check :-)

Anyway, I know the disk wasn't busy full time, thus I learned to ignore 
the light. Nowdays, there is iostat? to verify. Or even gkrellm.
