RE: IDE Bus Speed

OK...where exactly does one change the hdparms at?  I'm a newbie at
this...I got a "command not found" when I typed hdparm --help at the
term.  I see in dmesg where it says both drives are transferring at 33
MHz, but I cannot seem to find out how to change this.  I assume, as
well, that the CPU-Memory Bus speed is not set somewhere by default,
i.e. I have to specify it runs at 266MHz?
