I have tried to reproduce this problem with an external USB harddisk, but failed. Here is what I tried:
1. Opened control.exe
2. Switched to "Small icons" or "Large icons"
3. Clicked on power options
4. Clicked on the option to change the current plan
5. Opened the extended options
6. Set the harddisk timeout to 15 minutes
7. Attached the USB disk
8. Copied a file to it
9. Switched to a different tab to not accidentally awaken the drive
10. Waited 15 minutes for the drive to spin down
11. Dragged a file to the tab with the USB disk, holding down shift to move the file
12. The copy progress dialog stayed up until the drive had finished spinning up and the file was copied
13. Immediately unplugged the drive after the copy dialog had disappeared
14. Re-attached the drive
-> the file had been copied successfully.
