Look through the bios for an enable smart reporting option.

Thank you, Bob. According to the instruction s, I just spam on F2 till I see the Bios, but didn't know what I would see afterward, and wondering, since he replaced the mobo the last time he had the rig, if he adjusted it so it would ONLY work with SMART capability being disabled, or might I mess something up so it would stop working altogether. At 73 with beginning dementia, I don't have a lot of confidence working in SAFE mode or changing other things, so I will read up on Smart Disk Capability - which is what I should have done in the first place.

Thanks

Bill

Well, F2 doesn't open up anything. Given the above information, does anyone have anything more I can try, please?

Thanks
