Command to force hard drive arm to move to a specific position on the platter

hdparm --read-sector N will issue a low-level read of sector N bypassing the block layer abstraction. Use -I to get the device's number of sectors.

Your hard drive must be really old for this to work as expected. Drives initially allowed to specify the physical track (cylinder), real physical head and sector to access the data (initial concept of the CHS standard), but any newer drives (even ancient as in terms of today) use completely fictional geometry (and have spare blocks, to auto-remap blocks that the drive's logic thinks are getting wonky). Further, the precise internal mapping between real and representational geometries may change at any time (there is a SMART attribute to see these events).

Hence I think there is no command "to force hard drive arm to move to a specific position on the platter" in these days, unless it is possible to modify the firmware first. Even moving to "the last block" isn't really the last block, because of those spares.
