Comment 194 for bug 59695

Has anyone tried running hdparm from Cygwin on Windows to determine what MS is setting the values to? Could this be as simple as getting the values from Windows for your laptop/hard drive and then using those values in a startup script under Linux?

I dont have my laptop yet, so I cant try it myself. However, I'm following this issue closely as I want to make sure I set it up correctly (under Linux) when it finally comes in :)
