You need the patch linked in the story above if:
• Click Start, select Settings, select Control Panel, then double-click the System icon.
• Click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager.
• Open the Device Manager
• Expand the Disk Drives section to view all hard disk drives in the system, and look for a drive model number that reads HTS726060M9AT00.

This doesn't apply to all drives matching the description above. I purchased a 7k60 aftermarket. It identifies itself as a HTS726060M9AT00. After running the diskinfo.exe utility on IBM's site, it says "no update required".
