I'm using Puppy Precise on USB drive. So I usually turn off the HDD with "hdparm -Y /dev/sda" (hotplug modul/firmware loading in Puppy Event Manager is disabled).
How to turn off the HDD on startup?

Do you have swap memory on that hard disk drive? If so, maybe that's why it's starting again. If you have at least 512 MB of RAM, Puppy will probably never need swap memory unless you're doing something that requires a lot of memory such as editing images or viewing videos.
If you need swap memory, you can put it on the USB flash drive.

I have a swap partition on the usb drive. No problem, I know in which way the swap is needed.
When I normally turn off the HDD it will not start again because some settings in the Puppy Event Manager are disabled.
Would you like tell me how to write an executable file with the command "hdparm -Y /dev/sda"? than I will place it in the startup folder.
