Program Problem/Drivers

[Jerrynl34]

I have downloaded HDDlife program and am getting an error, "No HDD's with
S>M.A.R.T. I contacted the source and was told that the problem as they saw
it was that the motherboard had a driver (nVidia chipset) and that I needed
to uninstall the IDE part of the drivers and rollback to default Vista
drivers which support SMART.

Any Ideas?

Hi, Jerry.

We would have a better chance of helping you if you would share with us the
make and model of your computer (or motherboard) and your hard drives,
including the interfaces (IDE, SATA II ?). As you know, there are thousands
of models of both and what works for one often doesn't help at all with a
one-digit-different model. :>(
