I have a laptop with this problem, but I didn't notice...  Why?  Bit 
torrent and seeding distributions is an excellent patch! :)  If you 
never leave the hard drive alone, it never parks.  If you FINALLY finish 
loading the OS, and never wake up the hard drive, it never unparks.  I 
think the Ubuntu problem is because we finish loading, so it can park, 
but wake every few seconds for random reasons and unpark.  Vista, on the 
other hand, will be an hour finishing booting...
