forcing enable write cache

[hk3948]

hey . got a dell m1530 with a 160gb 7200rpm fujitsu drive. for some reason though, under the option for enabling write caching on the disc it says this device does not allow its write cache settings to be modified and if i check the box, it just reverts to being unchecked when i open it up again. anyone got any idea why this would be and if there is some way i could force it on.

thanks guys
