Hello,

I have to develop a win32 project that reads all S.M.A.R.T attributes of a fixed disk.

I found the following reply and tried it.

read-smart-data-from-hdd

But not all attributes are displayed.

Is there an MS article or another sample code ?

Thank you,
Zvika

    Another good source is CrystalDiskInfo Source
    with mainly AtaSmart.cpp

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I ran this code under admin.

    For some reason, no SMART attributes are displayed.

    The application sends DFP_GET_VERSION command and gets: GETVERSIONOUTPARAMS VersionParams

    The value of VersionParams.bIDEDeviceMap is 0x0 so nothing is displayed.

    Is it possible that there is a newer version of this application ?

    Best regards,
