Hello everybody
I used the 99-hdd-spin-fix.sh method to save my hard drive which had reached 
12838 cycles. I also copied 99-hdd-spin-fix.sh into battery.d, added the 
"hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda" into /etc/rc.local and commented the evil line « 
$HDPARM -B 1 /dev/$drive 2>/dev/null» in /etc/acpi/power.sh.
Is that ok?
My concerns are these:
· are there any danger with the power management turned off (hdparm -B 255) for 
my hard drive?
· how is it possible that such serious bug is still unsolved.
· I came to know this bug just by chance...imho there is no enough information 
about that...I mean in the main pages of ubuntu site.

Thanks for your attention
