Instead of giving you a fish, I'll try to learn you fishing .-)
see "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime" file:
if [ -x /sbin/hdparm ];then
LIST_HD=$(grep '^hd.:' /var/log/dmesg|\
grep -ivE '(CD.*ROM|DVD.*ROM|FLOPPY|TAPE|STATUS)'|cut
-d: -f1|sort|u

if grep -i nohdparm /proc/cmdline >/dev/null ; then
action "Hard Drive optimisations disabled" \
echo ""
else
for i in $LIST_HD;do
action "Starting Hard Drive optimisations for $i" \
hdparm -q -c1 -q -A1 -q -m16 -q -d1 /dev/$i
done
