Sheesh, are we grumpy or what?

The following drive letters are all hard drives. C: D: F: G: H: J: K:

I'm working with C: so it's up. The others are asleep. Then I run my little
program and it wakes the drives up.

The original email contained more than enough information to at least try to
reproduce the bug. If you can't, well in that case we can start digging.
