Where /dev/hda is the disk you want to turn it on. It can also be set in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks if you have that file in your distro.Code:hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

If you compiled your kernel you might have missed that option.
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

You need to compile the proper support for your hard drive's chipset into the kernel, I've met this error before
