perfdisk error message in event log

[news.optonline.net]

i am getting this error in my event log, i try to enable these counters and
can not find were to enable this in the device manager for any drives on any
property pages.



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.


thanks in advance

start/run, type: %SystemRoot%\system32\perfmon.msc /s

look for log files or alerts to cancel.

You probably have some driver for your hard drive that needs upgrading.

[frodo]

at command line type:

diskperf -n

to turn disk performance counters off; this is an oft-reccomended tweak,
as most users do not need these counters and they do slow disk performance
slightly. In W2K these perf counters were on by default. Conversly,

diskperf -y

turns them on.

must reboot to have either change take effect.

----

as mark said, you may have an old (W2K) disk driver that depends upon
them, try updating the driver (for a raid card perhaps, or perhaps the old
(non-raid version) of the intel app accelerator, which you do not need
anymore in XP).
