How to read S.M.A.R.T. attributes in vb ?Ive been browsing the WINAPI descriptions, but can't seem to find where the
S.M.A.R.T attributes can be read. I'm trying to read the current Temperature from a S.M.A.R.T. enabled HDD, and i would like to do this in VB.NET. I thought it should be possible using WMI but it seems that not:

There was an article about it in VSJ last year I think. I'm pretty sure that article will be on the web somewhere, though your guess is as good as mine. What I do recall was that the author implied it was a very imprecise science and that he only got meaningful information through a process of trial and error. It's not the smartest thing in the world to use, pardon the pun ;-) Cheers, Alex Clark Show quoteHide quote "@rpus - Development" <rpusDevelopm***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DE5CBE89-B8CD-4D44-8FBE-9E2153823F82@microsoft.com... > Ya,- i know, I tryed that one :( , - but still, it must be possible ? > > "Carlos J.

on reading a portion of memory, and then parse it out, However I have not been successfull in getting the code to run under vb2005. So I guess i'll keep up the hunt ..........
