I would like to be able to monitor my disk speed, I used to be able to, but
now all the physical disk and logical disk performance objects are missing.

does anyone know how to get them back?

Thank you

Have you looked at "view" | select columns | in "task manager"?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. That will bring up Task Manager.

Right click on My Computer, click manage, Performance Logs & alerts.

What, exactly, do you want to see.

Disk speed is rather ambiguous, could be 5400 or 7200 RPM. There are higher speeds available but cost much more than an average HDD.

OK, I see what you are saying. I am not talking about processes to monitor
in task manager, 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 performance items. I used to be able to add the
"physical disk" item and I could monitor my hard drive speed, but that item
is no longer available and I would like to know how to get it back. Any
ideas??
