Hi:
I've been using Disk Checkup for sometime now. A couple of weeks ago, I did a system restore because of a problem involving Roxio CD/DVD Creator uninstalling properly. When I attempt to run Disk Checkup, I immediately get an error message stating "Errors Initializing Disk Checkup" > There were errors trying to gather the SMART info.
The PC is running fine. I've looked to find something that appears to be different following the restore and cleanup. In viewing Disk Management under Manage My Computer, I noticed that the C:\ no longer appears as the drive letter for my hard drive. When I attempt to add a drive letter, my choices don't include C. I ran Diskpart and it verified that as well. However, Explorer and all other applications recognize c:\ and work fine. I also ran the WMDiag utility and I get a "Success" screen following the run. I wanted to attempt to add the "C" drive letter in Diskpart, however, I thought that I read that Windows would not accept a drive letter on the boot drive for some reason. I really want to get back monitoring my disk health (this computer is almost 7 years old). Up till now, it's been perfectly healthy.
One final point, I also use PC Wizard 2008 that seems to detect the SMART drive version (1.1) and the info produced. It generates an abbreviated report as to the overall disk state (Health 93%, Performance 98%). I've only been using PC Wizard a couple of months. I trust the data from Disk Checkup and want to continue using it.
Any suggestions on what I need to tweak to get this program back up and running?
