SMART problem in Win7PESE

I've been using smartctl in a BartPE/UBCD4Win environment for years, 
and it works great (provided I switch AHCI to IDE before booting to PE).

Now I'm trying Win7PESE, and I'm getting random failures like the one 
below.  On this computer, there is no AHCI setting (so it's in IDE or 
compatible mode by default), and the tests run fine when run from 
UBCD4Win.  It's running standard Windows SATA drivers.

Here is the -a results.

Even when I turn on smart with -s on or add -T permissive or 
verypermissive, I can't get it to run tests on the drive, and it 
gives me the input/output error.

Any idea how I can fix this?
