Hi, my name is dotexe. I am a computer programmer and am currently learning about PE hacking/patching, disassembly, and other things related to making extended kernels, and hope to make my own kernel for Windows 7 once I can figure out some more things.

Hello everyone. If any MSFN members are interested in doing some testing, I have found a website that uses these types of trackers. Thank you for your attention.

jaclaz , hello . Could you know why the PRO version won't show the USB HDD temps anymore ? All of a sudden , it was working just fine the day before. It won't show the SMART values as well. What I tried , I deleted all USB drivers (cleaned them with) DriveCleanup V0.7.0 . Freeware by Uwe Sieber - www.uwe-sieber.de . Rebooted . But it didn't help at all. The tool is good though ! Also, it says : "status of the hard disk is unknown. The configuration does not provide further disk status information. However, "Disk" menu "Surface Test" function can examine the disk functionality, reveal and fix possible problems." Their supported told me that my external HDD box "is not capable of provoding the info" . Yet like I said , it did just the day before . Could this mean my USB ports are damaged ? The disk itself works fine and I tried several different ones , all the same . Thanks !

Scandisk? You mean Chkdsk? However no, both are "high level", i.e. at filesystem level, chkdsk (and scandisk) simply take note of a bad cluster and promises (it has to be seen if the promise is maintained ) to never let NTFS use it again. What may (should) have made a difference if the WD tool. Buy if you have HD sentinel (the pro version not the free one) you can try "repairing" weak/slow sectors: https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_case_weak_sectors.php Alternative free tools may be Victoria for Windows, MHDD and hddat, all of these are very "powerful" tools, that if used incorrectly can easily make big holes in your hard dik, so they should be used with attention. jaclaz

so too offered to repair bad sectors, i said OK then result: SMART Status: PASS Test Result: PASS

heres a "mush" or things HDD: WDC WD32 00AAKX-00ERMA0

Yep, Which makes little sense, /R and /B imply /F. /R and /B are somehow contrasting options. /R scans areas NOT marked as bad (i.e. not listed in $BadClus) and sees if there is anything to be added to the list. /B scan all volume and "judges" whether areas already marked as bad can be "promoted" to good and adds any bad area to the list. If you prefer, /R trusts the existing info in $Badclus, whilst /B ignores it and represents a sort of "second opinion". Still on modern media, any bad (or even "weak") sector should normally be detected by the controller and remapped to a good spare sector well before and besides any chkdisk activity. Get a tool that can read the S.M.A.R.T data, example[1]: https://hddscan.com/ look for items #5. 187, 188, 197 and 198: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/what-smart-stats-indicate-hard-drive-failures/ and post what you get on that disk. Post the exact make/model of the disk, usually there are manufacturer tool that can do deeper analysis of the device. jaclaz [1] there is a much more compact and nifty as usual tool by Nirsoft , but it doesn't show the SMART parameter numbers; https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/disk_smart_view.html
