f You run this utility to change ie the TLER setting on a Western Digital drive. Does this utllity act as a TSR in PC memory to keep the chosen value for the smart-value for a disk. Or does the disk just get the command for a value and keeps this value on its own until the system is powered off? Dont know much about software is all Ethan |

If i understood your question correctly (google translate?) answer is simple smartmontools is not doing permanent changes. All changes are lost on power off. This is the difference with WD TLER and other vendor utilities. On 02/28/2013 08:35 PM, Eugene Huang wrote: > f You run this utility to change ie the TLER setting on a Western Digital drive.

No, smartd/smartctl are not playing TSR and keeping these settings persistent that way - when you run the command, the drive's settings are changed until power is removed - so across a warm reboot, it will stay the same, but if you power the machine off entirely [or it loses power from a failure], you will need to re-issue the command to change the setting. - Rich On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 8:15 AM, Eugene Huang <ram...@ho...> wrote: > > Not realy an answer to my question but thank you anyway ;) > > > On Mar 1, 2013, at 10:42 AM, "Alex Samorukov" <ml...@os...> wrote: > >> On 03/01/2013 09:16 AM, Eugene Huang wrote: >>> HI Alex.

So its not a TSR, thanks. Do I need to boot my system to DOS to use this commandline tool. Or can I use it through a dosbox under windows7 as well? HDDguardian gui needs netframe whatever 4.0 and dont know if my system has this latest version. Plus I dont have a proper ISP for my dektop now.

Yes, it is intended to be run from Windows console (which is occasionally still called dosbox but actual DOS programs cannot be run on Windows since Vista) > HDDguardian gui needs netframe whatever 4.0 and dont know if my system has this latest version.

The 4.0 version may already be present on your system because various other programs also need it. Alternatively you may want to try the Windows version of GSmartControl which is another GUI frontend for smartct. It does not require .NET. It uses GTK+ which is included in the package. See "Windows" section at: http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/Downloads The "Zip" version should run out of the box without any installation. Simply unzip the archive to any directory and launch GSmartControl.exe. Thanks, Christian |
