Do you have a raid controller by any chance? Some controllers prevent access to this feature unless the controller has a battery. On some controllers, it can be changed in bios but not in storage management settings. It can also be dependent on the hard drive SCSI? IDE?

On the other machine this option is not selectable, it is greyed out, and the check box appears to not be selected. Why can I access the check box on the one machine but not on the other when to all intents and purposes these are identical machines.
