What version of the DLL are you using? Are you running as Admin? What code are you using to call the DLL?
Just becuase you are using an IDE interface, it doesn't mean the drive itself supports SMART (nor your BIOS for that matter). But I think the Fujitsu does.

Contact Fujitsu or visit their web site if you want the specs for a Fujitsu drive. Failing that try Google.

If you still have a problem with the DLL, then to start with you answer the questions we asked above.
