Event Viewer "PerfDisk" error.

[WoofWoof]

I'm getting the following repreated event viewer (application) error.
Source is "PerfDisk":

"Unable to read the disk performance information from the system.
Disk performance counters must be enabled for at least one physical
disk or logical volume in order for these counters to appear. Disk
performance counters can be enabled by using the Hardware Device
Manager property pages. Status code returned is data DWORD 0. "

Can someone tell me what this is, whether it's serious and and what
options I have for fixing it?

I did look in Device manager but I couldn't see any references under
any of the items there that looked like it might relate to this.

From a command prompt;
diskperf -n

I did try that, Dave but I'm still getting the same error showing up
in Event Viewer after a reboot.

 

[Dave Patrick]

Something else to try.
