The Windows IO-controls IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH or SMART_RCV_DRIVE_DATA possibly return some unexpected error code. This is typically a SATA driver issue. The output of "smartctl -r ioctl,2 -i /dev/sda" should provide more details. Could you possibly repeat the above test this with the "native" (non-Cygwin) Windows version of smartctl? This is likely not a Cygwin specific issue. Smartctl does not use any Cygwin functionality to do ATA/SCSI pass-through access. Cygwin and native version of smartctl share the same code. We could continue the discussion by private mail or on smartmontools-support mailing list if desired.
