Autoplay when computer wakes up.

I have a new computer and I let it go to sleep when it detects that I have gone away.
I have an external hard drive permanantly connected to it, cable round the back and I can't reach it to unplug it and why should I anyway.
When the computer boots from being off, not napping, I turn the power off every night, there is no autoplay notification about the external hard drive but when I wake it up there is.
I have been through all the autoplay options but I cannot get it to stop doing this and yet my old computer never did it.
Any suggestions or do I have to live with it?
Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, gigabyte H61M-S2PV motherboard, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G530 @ 2.40GHz processor, AMD Radeon HD 6670 graphics card.
