If a disk is partitioned, to head parking utilities generally park on
the last track of the disk, or the last track of the *partition*?
Or is there no general rule?

Someone mentioned results with a headparking utility that seemed not
to recognize the full disk -- could this be because the disk is partitioned?
Will parking the heads over a track do damage to the track?  (Obviously
DOS uses the last track in the DOS partition)
