Unless its in your BIOS, then no! Because the HDD isn't spun up then you can't have it running as software.
If its not on your BIOS then you could try making a small module, you just need a timing curuit pritty much!

Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

i've seen it on some Epox boards, and my current Albatron board.
It's usually in the Power saving options in the bios, next to Suspend settings
Interesting..../me goes off to check bios

All the machines I have (AMD) have this option (RTC Wake). I don't see how wake-on-lan would work as that requires another PC to tell the machine to turn on, hint why it's called wake on LAN as it is done via another LAN machine.
Well it worked
Woke me up at 1030.
Cheers lads
The Asus A7V600 board has this and is AMD based.
The idea is to use it in a business environment, where there will be a server machine thats probably on 24/7
