Thanks for this Glen and Dave, I actually found where the hdparm file was using the "whereis" command, but I've often wondered how to find things on the computer that weren't programs. Thanks, I'll use it.
>hdparm just isn't in your path. Try /sbin/hdparm instead of just hdparm. -Glen How do I edit my path? I know how to do this in windows, but not in Linux.
