Nothing in particular. Just look at the manpage for hdparm and try
things. You have nothing to lose but your data ;-> You should also look
at the settings in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime for some ideas.
Try things manually at first, test with hdparm -tT, and when you have
your ideal settings, put them into mandrake_everytime and edit
/etc/sysconfig/system with HDPARM=yes to load your settings at system
startup.
