    Agreed Jeff! That could be the reason why Microsoft also changed pie-charts to display disk status in 'My Computer' ;-).

    Well, do you have any SQL script for getting the status?

    I do... but most people won't use it because it calls PowerShell using xp_CmdShell to get at WMI functionality. I'm one of those folks that don't believe in the myth that disabling xp_CmdShell provides any additional security except maybe for a 3ms burp in a hacker's attack engine.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
