If you haven't enabled it yourself, it IS disabled. But that doesn't mean, 
your hard drisk is save. After hours of testing I have put the command

/sbin/hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda

in the file /etc/rc.local (before the line "exit 0") but I can't tell you 
if that is enough. There may be other workarounds necessary depending on 
your hard disk type.
