got a quick question

in my power options i have my hard drives set to sleep after 30 mins of inactivity

what will happen when my batch file runs from task scheduler? will it error out and say the HD isnt connected?

there will be a delay from then the task is set to run to when the HD can boot up.

Thanks

is there a way i can make sure the HDD is woken up before it opens the batch file, or a 10 second delay

or does it already work fine?

Currently hard-coded to 20 sec, but will be made configurable, solving viewtopic.php?t=6702
