Editing hdparm.conf

[wallijonn]

I just used /dev/hda1 as an example as Andrew only said /dev/hdX.

So if it is a disk drive and it is the second disk drive that is giving
him a problem then it would be /dev/hda2 or /dev/hda3 (just in case his
swap is on /dev/hda2). 

My concern is that he has two different ATA drives, say a ATA66 and an
ATA100, in which case he could then be getting some sort of interaction
between the two drives. Setting /dev/hda to ata100 may be mucking up the
ata66 drive.
