Hard Disk Monitoring

Thanks so much for your very helpful support. Great to know about the 14 days window and a successful disk repair instantly restoring back to 100% which makes a lot of sense. That said my temporary "solution" isn't really smart: I deleted both the .wed and .wel file of the respective hard ...

Free demo at: www.aida64.com I didnt see any specific hints in windows events log helping to understand whats going wrong with hd sentinel trying to...
