In my case I must repeat procedure every time when power supply to HDD is disconnected.
I forgot:
Hdparm works only with IDE not USB.
Use host with Linux installation (FC4 in my case);
switch on USB drive PWR Supply;
disconnect IDE cable from USB disk;
connect USB disk to host...
Hdparm -k1 -K1 -S120 /dev/hdX works fine with Seagate Barracuda ATA4.
Power supply on the drive must be allways on !!!
