Re: Missing / Blank Drive icon
Hi David,
Sorry for the troubles.
I suspect you may not un-installed, but manually deleted and/or used a 3rd party uninstaller (which does not allow Hard Disk Sentinel to properly clean up), as then this may happen.
If you perform normal un-installation, the drive icons should automatically restore to normal, default icons. When the software is active, the drive icons show the usage and health indicators - which is automatically reset on uninstallation (or simply if closing the software).
The easiest way is to download and install the latest possible version from the Download page ( http://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php ) or directly from http://www.harddisksentinel.com/hdsenti ... _setup.zip
After installation and starting, you should see the icons with the above mentioned indicators. Then simply use File -> Exit to completely close the software (then the icons are restored) and then you can perform un-installation if required.
Note that if you prefer, you may disable this feature completely at Configuration -> Disk Control page, just disable the "Modify default hard disk icons..." option.
