I have no expereinece on this, but I know that some
manufacturers (computers manufacturers) include a 
"SHIP" program that you are supposed to run before
moving your Winchester. This homes the heads to the
unused track called the "landing area" I think,
which is a track that never has data on it, so it is
safe to leave the heads resting there (since they do not retract).
