Software to stop the hard disk?  I'd be very surprised if that were
possible.  I do remember reading about an expansion card for PCs that
would automatically power down your hard disk after a specified period
of time, and leave it powered down until it was next accessed.  It
occured to me that such a product is just what I'd need if I wanted to
leave my PC powered up all the time.  Unfortunately, I don't remember
the name of the product.  I do remember seeing it advertised in 
PC Magazine, about 2 years ago, in the small ads in the back of the
mag.     Hope this jogs some other reader's memory, because I'd like
to get one of those boards myself, now that I think about it!  ;^)
