Delphi: Drive not ready on Laptop

When i run programs from delphi on my laptop i get a drive not ready
error because the harddisk is shut down due to power saving. But when i
try again delphi crashes and windows terminates.
The laptop i am using is a Compaq Contura Aero 4/25.

What can i do (exept for turning my power saving off) ?
