Welcome. I'm sorry I do not speak English ... Google Translate this.
Is it possible to configure the HD Sentinel, so that it works in multiboot PC? I want that HD Sentinel Settings, Overview, Temperature, S.M.A.R.T, history, and other work in sync.
With files contains HDSentinel.cfg (Configuration -> Update and select "Backup Configuration")?
My computer configuration:
Disk 0 partition 1... Winddows XP Pro SP3 32bit.
Disk 0 partition 2... Winddows XP 64bit
Disk 1 partition 1... Windows 7 64bit.
Disk 1 partition 2... Windows 7 64bit.
Disk 2... Data, my pictures, videos and other files.

Hi,
The Configuration -> Update and select "Backup Configuration" option can be used to move the current status from one OS / system to an other.
This saves all settings, statistics, registration information, logs, etc... to a single file (HDSentinel.cfg) which can be loaded in the other OS.
However, this is not the best method for this case as then you'd need to manually use "backup configuration" to save everything before switching the OSes and re-loading the most recent file on the OS you will use.
The best way to have all data synchronized is to specify a folder to store data at Configuration -> Advanced options -> Change folder to store statistics and settings.
Just specify a folder which is accessible under all OSes with same path (eg. C:\HDSDATA) under all different OSes. Then Hard Disk Sentinel (regardless of the OS started) will automatically use that folder to save/load information and you can be sure that the data will be always actual.
Just be careful about the drive and folder, booting some OSes may change assigned driver orders!
