- Why do you want to park your drives from Windows? As far as I know, the only
- time you park your drive heads is before turning off your computer. Turning
- it off from inside Windows is a Really Bad Idea, and exiting Windows accesses
- the disk, unparking your heads. Is there another reason you want your heads
- parked (laptop sleep mode,etc.) and is it really necessary? (most new drives
- autopark).
