Batch File: Read H.D. [S.M.A.R.T] for failure prevention

Hi there,

Has anyone made a batch file that will read the Hard Drive's S.M.A.R.T. infos and interpret them in order to predict H.D. failure?

The only thing a came up with so far, are 2 command lines that outputs a bunch of numbers:

WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\wmi PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictThresholds
WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\wmi PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictData

Please do not suggest a program that reads and display S.M.A.R.T. infos. I need a batch file.

Thanks for your help,
Rene

Thanks for your comment. However, the two supplied command line reads S.M.A.R.T. infos

WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\wmi PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictThresholds
WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\wmi PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictData

So, since I can read them, their might be someone out there that did a batch file to interpret them.

Cheers,
Rene

Thanks for your links.

I need a batch file to interpret the output generated by a wmic command that reads S.M.A.R.T.

Thanks

By running the command lines, you will get the output as s.m.a.r.t. is standard.

@h4mi,

In case your comment is not humour, wmic.exe is as a program as ping.exe is; as it is part of Windows.
