Comment 52 for bug 340014

Sorry to be such a bother about this, but I'm still having trouble. I've read through that guide, but couldn't find anything related to nohdparm. I found a bunch of files on my computer which included the text "hdparm," but I still have no idea what it does or how to boot without it. Is there any chance you can explain in brief how to do this? Or point me to someone who could? And just to be clear, I'm trying to boot *without* *nohdparm*, correct? That double negative (without...no...) is mixing me up. Thanks in advance if you have the time/energy to continue helping me out with this.
