To prevent damage to the read-write head and to the magnetic storage disk when a disk drive is not in use, the disk drive "soft parks" or "hard parks" the head in a safe position with respect to the disk. Soft parking refers to parking the head when the disk drive will remain powered on after the park. For example, the disk drive typically soft parks the head during an extended period of non use such as a sleep or power-conservation mode. Conversely, hard parking refers to parking the head when the disk drive will be powered off after the park such as when one powers down a personal computer.

According to one technique for hard parking a read-write head, the disk drive moves and retains the head over the center or other portion of the disk where there is no stored data. Typically, a magnetic latch retains the head in the hard-park position until the disk is powered on. Thus, if the parked head contacts the disk, no data will be lost and the data-storage areas of the disk will be undamaged. Such contact may occur if one jostles the disk drive or the computer system incorporating the disk drive.

Unfortunately, this hard-parking technique is often unsuitable for laptop computers because they are often subjected to movements that are sufficient to jar the head loose from its parked position. As discussed below, an unrestrained head may be damaged, may corrupt stored data, or may damage the disk. Specifically, laptop computers, unlike desktop computers, are carried in many orientations and are jostled relatively frequently and forcefully. At times, this jostling may be sufficient to disengage the parked head from the magnetic retaining latch, particularly when the laptop is positioned such that gravity tends to pull the head out of the latch. Once disengaged from the latch, further jostling may cause the head to contact the data-storage areas of the disk. Such contact with the disk may corrupt stored data, permanently render the contacted area of the disk unable to store data, or damage the head or the arm to which the head is attached. But even if the jostling of the unparked head causes no data loss or damage, contact between the head and the data-storage areas of the disk as the disk starts to rotate upon power up may cause the data corruption or damage described above.

I think he meant the "urban" version bro.... You know... use it in a sentence.... Dimtiri is "hardparking" like no one's business yo!" or something like that... I dunno I lost my urban dictionary in 1996 in a giant pocket of my Diesel pants...
