Can't enable write caching on the disk !!!

Question

Hi everyone, I have a Vostro 1400 notebook, with Fujitsu HDD on SATA interface. My problem is: in Device Manager->Disk drives->Fujitsu right click-> Properties->Policies the 'enable write caching on the disk' is not enabled. When I try to enable it, it appeares active 'enable advanced performance', I enable that too, then I press OK. So far so good. But when I repeat those steps, exactly the same: write caching is disabled and advanced performace too. What to do to enable those? Thanks in advance. Have a nice day. PS: I use Vista Business, all updates for OS and for drivers (from dell.com)

I found this link Googling these terms: 'enable write caching on the disk' SATA unable   http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7813_102-0.html?forumID=26&threadID=262994&messageID=2577565   It seems right on, as I believe you have an Intel chipset on your board.   This link also came up, to an thread where they discuss this: http://www.tweakvista.eu/show_tweak.php?tweak=168   It's obviously the driver/hardware/firmware not supporting the feature.  They seem to have exhausted many possible solutions.  Try reading them if you want to test them out.
