I have just noticed that if I run hdparm -i .. I also get the following error,
I'm not sure whether this is a problem or not?

/dev/sda:
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

More worrying, is that if I use "sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda" to query the
S.M.A.R.T status of the drive, I get:
smartctl version 5.32 Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Device: ATA      HTS541010G9SA00  Version: MBZO
Serial number:       MP2Z80X0G2ME6E
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Wed Sep 28 13:59:21 2005 BST
Device does not support SMART

The BIOS reports that this HD *does* support smart, and that is it enabled, so
something in the smartmon tools isn't working correctly, could this be a related
issue?
