Not all BIOS implementations let you enable/disable SMART on attached hard disks (e.g. I have a Compaq Evo which doesn't).

However, that doesn't mean that SMART isn't enabled on the drive - just that the BIOS won't monitor and report impending failure.

If you find out the make of drive and download the manufacturers diagnostic utilities, these will often let you see the SMART status (e.g. Seagate's Seatools shows whether SMART has tripped on a failing drive - and allows you to reset it).
