Background for opening drive that is powered down

For some reason windows love to put my HD's to sleep(I know it can change but...).

xyplorer stalls when I open a drive that is powered down. It takes about 10 seconds to do anything and is quite annoying.

Sometimes I click on a drive that isn't what I wanted(I have 10 drives with multiple partitions) and I'll have to wait.. or maybe I want to look somewhere else fora file while I wait.

Can XYplorer put drive opening code in a thread so that it won't stall the user interface?

Sometimes this also happens when copying files, etc.

Seems like the interface should be in a separate thread and messaging and queues used to handle working with drives rather than stalling the program just to wait on the hard drive to get up and running.
