[Bug] [Win11] CompactGUI on Windows HDD software raid causes hangup #489

Issue
Software raid (dynamic striped volume) on one or more HDD's in windows causes CompactGUI to hang up after clicking compress.

Context
I use software RAID-0 on my pair of old hard drives to give them a bit more speed, but they no longer work as of CompactGUI 3.6.0+. It seems to be the HDD detection feature. After clicking compress using any compression method, the GUI hangs on "working..." and doesn't do anything. Buttons can still be clicked (but do nothing) and the window can be closed, but the program itself has no activity. Compression was working completely fine on my dynamic disks using v3.5.1.

My other non-RAID singular drives (all SSD's) work perfectly fine on v3.6.0+.

How to reproduce

  1. Format 2 or more disks as dynamic striped volumes in windows
  2. Format the RAID-N volume to NTFS
  3. Run CompactGUI and compress any folder on the new volume

Affected versions
All verisons past v3.5.1
