Nope... the server has a promise raid controller in it, but I have not done anything with the software in some time (at least longer than the counters were last working).

I'll try turning it off and then back on.<br />

I have a Win2k SP4 Server that has decided that the PhyscalDisk counters in PerfMon are no longer important. &nbsp;I know that they used to be there, because I had a saved PerfMon on my desktop with those counters in there.<br />
<br />
I tried replacing perfdisk.dll from a 2000 Server SP4, but that did not seem to help.<br />
<br />
Exctrlst.exe reports that the PerfDisk Counters are enabled. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
When I run diskperf, it reports this:<br />
<br />
Both Logical and Physical Disk Performance counters on this system<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;are currently set to start at boot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
