    I don't think so.

    You can try setting your power plan to High Performance, and see if that helps any.

    Yeah under the power options in the control panel, the monitor and hard drive are set to sleep after like 10 and 20 minutes by default for the default power mode. If you want your drive to never sleep while the machine is on you definately have to go there and select "never" for the current power mode. Or switch to using the high power power mode as JK suggested.

    [Edit] Ooops, you found it while I was typing [/edit]

    Just to clarify: to select "Never", enter 0. Or at least that's what I did and it seems to work. :)
