If it's a relatively new drive, you probably don't want to use a
head parking program.  The more recent Seagate drives automatically
retract the head on power-down.  The "universal" head parking
programs read your drive parameters and park the head a few tracks
beyond the last track - generally well within the alternate
track section and not on the track left by the manufacturer for
parking the head.
