Will spinning down HDs (power saving) interfere with a Scheduled Task?

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3.

In an effort to help cool off my computer room (and maybe save a few pennies in electricity), I'm thinking about using Windows power savings features and shutting off the HDs after an hour of inactivity. I have 8 HDs in my system, so we're talking about a decent amount of heat.

A possible glitch is that I have two Scheduled Tasks (NTBACKUP) that run every night, saving things to various drives.

If the drives are powered down, will the tasks still run? Thank you for your assistance.
 
Thanks much, nerp and bsobel. 🙂

We'll see what happens tonight; I've modified the Power Schemes features accordingly.
