    I've got a new dv9035nr and installed NHC and the update patch for Core 2 Duo chipsets. The problem is that the temps for the two 80Gb Hard Drives are not displaying anything except a 0 degrees C. I installed speedfan as well to see the differences and it registers both HD temps and the CPU temp just fine.

    Is there a setting I'm missing in NHC? I have the SMART and Temp checkbox ticked in the Hard Disk tab of NHC already.

    Have you tried reinstalling NHC. That is the only thing I could think of.

    Also what do you mean that you have two 80GB hard drives? Is one of them in the laptop and the other one external? I am pretty sure NHC can only read the temps for one hard drive and not for external hard drives.

    I haven't tried re-installing NHC yet. After Speedfan gave me the results for all three temps I figured it was just a matter of settings in NHC. The dv9035 has two separate internal 80Gb hard drives there is no external drives in my situation.

    Hmm...then it is probably the two internal hard drives conflicting with NHC. I am not sure if there is a way to fix that. Maybe someone with more knowledge of NHC could help you out on that one.
