I got what it indicates. It's scary...

I noticed utilities to "fix" this problem in the wd drives. I checked my
drive, it is:

  ata1.00: ATA-9: HGST HTS545050A7E680, GR2OA350, max UDMA/133

So, not sure whether there exists a utility to fix its head parking
problem. Also not clear, why I don't get that noise when booting to
FreeDOS.
