Bug Description
Notebook: HP Pavillion dv2172ea
Hard drive: Seagate Momentus 5400.2 120GB SATA
Ubuntu: Edgy Eft final version fresh install
During shut down, at the moment the power is being cut, the hard drive makes a bad noise, meaning the disk head is performing an emergency park. This wears out the drive quicker.
Shutting down WindowsXP doesn't make this ugly noise.
The notebook is new and is not defective.

Strange thing:
suspending the laptop makes the drive spin down normally (no noise).
Different methods of spinning down the drive when suspending and halting?
