And what's the SmartMon T.E.C. (estimate of when the drive will fail)?

What is the rc= value? This is what happens to me with DaniS506 v151
(but not with v145).

SmartMon is just reporting the value stored in the hard drive. It isn't
*causing* your hard drive to fail.

I've already alerted Andrew (SmartMon) so he can also test. He has just
sent me a new version of SmartMon which I will test as soon as I reboot.

Highlight the values using the left mouse button. Then right click and
Copy.

Ctrl-C works for me. Or close the entire window.

What about Ctrl-Esc? Does that bring up the Window list where you can
highlight and close the SmartMon window?

> So my warning is more to SmartMON than to Dani's drivers !?

Svobi, *what* version of DaniS506 are you using? Is it version 151
which doesn't work here, or an earlier version?
