ok gizmo98, neither of those worked, oh and had to install hdparm, had a google but not really found anything except for this..

http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-2942-1-1-.html

looking at post #5, think i’ll try this,

apt-get install hdparm

Then in a bootup bash script

hdparm -S180 /dev/disk/by-uuid/01CF0AC9AA5EAF70

my uuid is 72cf9ef3-f16b-46aa-a381-e5670e76544b, so just need to change that in the code given, oh and mabe change 180 to 60?

thanks for your help
