[ale] Can you run back the odometer on a SMARTD drive?

[neal at mnopltd.com (Neal Rhodes)]

I got a supposedly refurbished HP desktop from Tiger Direct.

Various flavors of SMARTD utilities on Windows and Centos reported very
low hours on the drive, like in the range of 5 hours. 

Does this mean that the refurb operation put in a new disk drive, or is
there a way of re-initializing the SMARTD data? 

(or, do the drive manufacturers refurb their own drives and send out
used drives with zero hours on them? )
