For some time now I'm using an external harddisk which often disbehaves.
The problem is that after some time it seems to go in some stand by mode.
Then, when I try to access this drive (or another external drive) it often
disconnects (hearing the disconnect sound)
I can hear the sound of the drive starting up slowly, but seemingly often
too late.
I suppose this has to do with some kind of time-out parameter? Can I
increase this setting somewhere?

BTW This problem only occurs when using the drive with the (Windows XP) PC.
Using the drive connected to the (Vista) notebook it never fails.

- Medion USB harddisk with its own power adaptor.
