windows detected hard disk

Only on users account this message pops up continuously. There is no problem on the WD160 GB c: drive. On administrator's account the message does not appear.
Vista 32bits, OS on c: (hd:1,part:0), applications on e: (hd:1,part:1)
How to get rid of this problem ?

I am also having the exact same problem. I am having no performance problems whatsoever. My previous install of Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Media Center didn't give me any related problems. I'd like to stop this message from popping up because it is preventing me from running my media center extender on my XBox 360. Since that window pops up it automatically shuts down the Media Center Extender once it connects.
If it makes a difference, I am running a Silicon Image 3112 SATA card (gen 1). I have 2 Seagate 160GB SATA drives attached running in Raid0.

Hi Guys,
I have just posted the attached on the Windows Help Forums and think it may help. It probably not appropriate to redirect you, so will repost.
My appologies upfront, it is far from technical or well written, following a fairly sleepless night to resolve this issue on two systems.
Essentially I set out to find why I was getting disconnects on an XBOX 360 Extender Session under Vista and found that the Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) was at fault.
I am sure others can now come up with a better resolution, but hopefully this will give you a quick fix to your issues and put others in the right ball park to work on a better fix.
Regards Steve B

Hi Again,
A couple of hours sleep and I have solved my own connection terminated
issues on the Xbox 360. It appears that my hunch was correct on this occasion with the issue being around an alert / popup attempting to warn the Xbox360 session of impending harddrive failure based upon SMART data. (Disabling Smart in the Bios had no effect).
I would imagine there is a far more elegant way to do this, but for simplicity I did the following.
opened Group Policy Editor - i.e. execute gpedit.msc
Navigate - to the following setting
local computer policy computer configuration administrative templates system troubleshooting and diagnostics disk diagnostic disk diagnostic: configure execution level
Double Click or Properties on this value and set it to disabled. nb. Not configured is enabled by default.
Close the Group Policy Editor, no reboot or reset of services is required. Any Disk / Smart related errors will now simply be written to the log with the end user not given various popups on corrective course of action.
I hope that this help others overcome this problem. I doubt very much that this is the best approach, but at the very least it quickly allowed me to identify the root cause of my connectivity issues.
My closing thoughts are just why exactly is DPS warning Extender Sessions of of S.M.A.R.T. and potentially other faults. These will never be displayed and will obviously lead to Termination of Connections.
