Hello listers! Is it possible to get smart.vxd to run on a motherboard or HDD that does not support S.M.A.R.T. for actively recognizing an HDD by model, volume, cylinder numbers and temperature etc.?
If so how would I go about it? I have a Soltek all SCSI onboard Motherboard with Adaptec AIC7188 and an i440bx chipset. I DO have accompanying the HDD installation program a SCSI utility that can run before setup to the BIOS. But if the drive fails then it will never appear. So are these detection or prediction apps all for IDE drives or are they equally for SCSI drives as well? My system config is: ----System Information Platform: Windows 2000 Machine Type: Intel System Version: 5.00.2195 Processor: Pentium II or III Model 5, Stepping 1 Physical RAM Installed: 261684 Kb Eudora: Version 5.1 Mode: Paid Mode Registration #: MSHTML Version: 5.00 WININET Version: 5.00 I am currently on Windows 2000 Pro but as a dual boot my boot.ini is located on the C: drive which is Windows 98SE. I tell you all this so you have a full picture of what I am talking about. My HDD is a Quantum Atlas Ultra SCSI-2 9.1 GIGS and is NOW 4 years old, hence the interest in HDD Failure prediction. :) Thank you to any or all who respond.
