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
You might want to take a look here before you make any changes:

If you compiled your kernel you might have missed that option.
You need to compile the proper support for your hard drive's chipset into the kernel, I've met this error before
