Hard disk parking has been an issue on my laptops (IBM T20 & T21) since at least 7.04 Beta. It appears to be the result of a lack of "open"-ness on APM standards, and succeeding arguments between manufacturers, programmers, and developers. Some argue that it may be shenanigans orchestrated in Redmond, with assistance from subjugated manufacturers. For 7.04 Beta & 7.10 I followed the advise in this forum. For 8.04 LTS I updated the firmware on my hard disk, then used the guidance at the Ubuntu support forum and the issue was resolved. (see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-583913.html). If you want lengthy reading go to "http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/15153/";, but I warn you that it sometimes strives towards Stonian conclusions (as in Oliver) utilizing Rumsfeldian logic.
