If I use wbemtest I can see it, also with Scriptomatic v2 and WMICodeCreator. So I think it's there, but I don't know much about it.

Try this and see if you are actually getting anything back:
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\WMI")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData",,48)
WScript.Echo VarType(colItems)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData instance"
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "InstanceName: " & objItem.InstanceName
Next
EDIT: I've decided that when I have time and I can figure it out easily (or not so easily if it is interesting) I'll start putting the PoSH way to solve things in addition to the VBS way. So to do what you are doing in PoSH:
Get-WmiObject -namespace "root/wmi" MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData | Format-List InstanceName
That line should replace your entire code block above.
Or if you really want to be succint, here is the same thing with aliases:
gwmi -n "root/wmi" MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData | fl InstanceName

WScript.Echo VarType(colItems) returns 9, then on the For Each loop it gives the error.
According to W3C 9 indicates an automation object, whatever that means.
(what's PoSH ? python object sharing?)

PoSh = Windows PowerSHell. As for your script, I'm running out of ideas since it runs fine on my XP machine and I don't have Vista handy. My guess would be that there is a security issue but I couldn't begin to tell you exactly what the issue would be. It is also possible that the repository is corrupt.

Have you tried updating VBS to 5.7?
Some where (in a thread) I saw a link for it, within the last week or so.

Not sure if any of this will help.
Firstly Turn off UAC. The easy way is through the Control Panel. Type "UAC" into the search bar at the top of the screen, as ebgreen pointed out it may be permissions. Make sure you are running the query as Administrator WMI needs to run with Admin rights thats why UAC must be off.

I'm wondering if you re-register vbscript if it gets fixed...
regsrv32 vbscript.dll
????

as gdewrance allready mentioned.. turning of UAC will fix this problem..
I have a vista machine and have tested this script...
If you run it using cscript... it clearly returns an access denied error
with UAC turned off... it works fine.
If turning UAC off is not an option... you will need to look at changing the DCOM permissions using dcomcnfg
!! WARNING INCORRECTLY CHANGING THESE SETTINGS CAN RIGHT AND ROYAL SCREW YOUR PC!!
try here for a pointer... but may require much more tweaking than this---> http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/08/14/wmi-troubleshooting-permissions.aspx

Turning off UAC didn't help. Will keep on trying.

I opened wmimgmt.msc, but i have no idea what to do with it, so I closed it again  . It's a little over my head, need to do some doc hunting for this one.

well according to the error you posted... the "Authenticated User" group does not have the correct permissions to the root/wmi namespace...
so run wmimgmt.msc
right click WMI Control (local)
select Properties
click the Security Tab
select Root the WMI from the tree view
click security
check whether "Authenticated Users" is listed in teh secuirty permissions
Authenticated users should have the follwoing permissions...
Execute Methods X
Full Write
Partial Write
Provider Write X
Enable Account X

I checked the settings and they look ok.
Execute Methods, Provider Write, Enable Account are checked, but greyed out.
--edit--
I was thinking that maybe it's not a security issue at all. Maybe it's my harddrives.
On my XP machine there normal ide ata drives. On my Vista laptop there are 2 identical sata drives with a posabillity of a raid setup, wich I doen't use. Maybe the class is just empty? Or would that give an other error?

it's deinitley something with your machine.. as i've tried running this script on several vista machines now.
you could try the following (I found on another forum)
1. Add network service account to administrators group.
2. Add authenticated users to following registry keys:
* HKCR\CLSID\{73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4}
* HKCR\CLSID\{7C857801-7381-11CF-884D-00AA004B2E24}
* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM

This is getting way over my head. Fiddling with the registry isn't what I was looking for.
I just wanted to write a little Visa gadget that monitors the HDD's temperaure, since I had the script allready on my XP machine, I thought it would be simple. Silly me
