Disk Management Missing

Just noticed that Disk Management is missing from the Console Tree in
Computer Management.

How do I get it back in Computer Management?

I can open Disk Management via the DISKMGMT.MSC

MSC files are Windows/System32 files. If you can run diskmgmt.msc
you have the file in your system but your compmgmt.msc may
be corrupt for not listing the diskmgmt.msc. Try the following:

Start>Run>type SFC /SCANNOW press Enter (space between C and /)
This action performs a System File Check for missing or corrupt files
and may ask you for your OS disk to reinstall these system files.

You can also try a System Restore, you can go back up to 90 days.

Thanks, but didn't work.

Thanks, but didn't work.

Turned out to be a Registry error (missing UID entries) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MMC

MS Tech Support gave me the fix.

I used my windows XP install disk & Start>Run>type SFC /SCANNOW to
repair this issue , windows found a dll missing , and prompted me to
insert my OS install disk.It worked ! Ty Byte

Your reply to a 21 MONTH OLD thread has no value to the original poster.
Next time notice the datestamps.

A leech site pretending to have forums by running a webnews-for-dummies
interface that submits improperly formatted posts through a gateway to
Usenet (aka newsgroups).

I'm glad that this "really old" thread exists as it was the only
reference that I could find that allowed me to track the source of my
problem. The OP may not need this thread anymore but others might.

Who are you taking to?
