S.M.A.R.T. with Vista 64bit

[faceless]

I would really like to view my HDD's temperature using Speedfan. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My Mainboard is a P5B-Plus Vista Edition and I'm using 2 500GB Samsung HDDs aswell as 1 250GB Samsung Spinpoint HDD. SATA is set to AHCI.

However, when I start Speedfan I cannot see my HDD's temperature nor view its S.M.A.R.T. data.

Why does it not work? Is it because of Vista? Do I have to enable S.M.A.R.T. first? If yes, where (in my BIOS?) would I find that option?

Thank you guys very much. I hope someone can help me!

I have it enabled under Home Basic64 and Smartfan 4.332 shows the temperature for my WD1600YS drive. It should be a setting dor a SATA "slot" in the general screen of your BIOS.

I have a beta BIOS for my P5B (vanilla) cause of issue I am having with Hardware Monitor and now when AHCI is selected I have no access to my HD details. When I put it to IDE my SATA "slots" appear and underneath is SMART setting amongst others. With my prvious BIOS I thought I had the same view with AHCI as if it were set to IDE.
