How does one shut off Hard Disk Sentinel so it does not try to start up when booting?
The reason I ask is that I am having problems fully booting into windows unless I disengage all my drives except for my C: drive.
Something similar happened before with another product which is why I ended up with Hard Disk Sentinel.
I am guessing Hard Disk Sentinel has nothing to do with the problem, but I need to test it out for trouble shooting purposes.
Thanks.

Re: Shutting off Hard Disk Sentinel
Please unselect the option: Configuration -> Preferences -> Load with Windows option.
This way it will not start at all, not run/monitor in the background, just if you manually start.
On that page, there is an option "Pre-start delay (seconds)", which designed to allow the system to "settle down" when booting.
It may also help as you can set (for example) 60 or 300 seconds or even more.
This way Hard Disk Sentinel will start automatically - but before the configured amount of seconds, it does not access the drives at all, does not perform any actions, allowing the system to load all files/applications.
So you may consider this too.
