Performance object missing from "Add counters" in Performance monitor

I am talking about the performance monitor you get to from
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Performance. With this tool, I used to
be able to see the exact speed that files were being copied to or from my
hard drive- bytes/second -(from the CD, DVD, other hard drives in my
computer, network, internet, etc..). Once you start this tool, you can
click on the '+' and add counters. I used to be able to add the
"physical disk" item by selecting it from the "Performance Object" list.
That item is no longer available and I would like to know how to get it
back. Any
ideas??

Thank You

Kevin Nielsen

Thank you for responding again. I was just hoping to get some other input.

How can I export the registry from another copy of XP and use it on mine, no
two computers are the same and it would probably confuse my computer having
settings added in for hardware it doesnt have and software it doesnt have.
If I apply another machines registry to mine, will it overwrite my existing
registry? Unless there is a way to export only the performance monitor
settings. If so then how do I do it.

You can export that particular registry key [said in the MS-KB] from another machine [save as .reg file] and import to subject computer. Personally, it worked for me.

Excellent. Do you know the name of that particular registry key?
