Hard Disk Update 1.0
...in Software Update. What in the hell is this all about??? Did you read that disclaimer!?
For those who didn't:
The Hard Disk Update improves the longevity of some hard drives. Your drives may or may not need to have firmware updated; installing and running this update will tell you if updating is required.
IMPORTANT - - It is strongly recommended that you back up the data on your hard drives to an external drive or removable media before running this update. If an error should occur during the install process, your hard drives may become unusable. In that case, all data on the drives could be lost.
Note: When installation is complete, Hard Drive Update 1 should launch automatically. If the update does not launch automatically, please launch it manually:
/Applications/Utilities/Hard Drive Update 1
The bolding is not my emphasis but Apple's (or whoever put this out - it almost seems like a damn virus to me!).
I guess I have lived in a paranoid Windows world too long at work. I tend to ignore things like this. But, Apple did make changes to ensure that Software Update was secure. This just seems to be worded very strangely.

No worries, no fuss.

However strangely worded as it was, it seemed harmless on my system - dual G4/533. Not needed, or so it told me. I added in an 80GB Seagate to the stock 40GB drive.
That update is a very old update (06/25/2003) only appearing on some machines.
You must have recently reinstalled OS X.
