Now I know that it does not autopark. So my question is that if I just turn my computer on and boot a game from df0: I notice that the hard drive will turn on now I was wondering if the head of the drive is still in the parked position, so after I am done with the game, is it safe to turn off my computer or do I have to reboot my computer to run the park program. It just seems such a pain to play games on my computer if I have to park the drive every time I quit a game. Notwhen I am playing games, the game does not access the hard drive. Thanks -- Ryan M.
