Virtual Disk Enumeration

This setting specifies whether you want to ignore virtual disks. Ignoring virtual disks is rcommended. Virtual disks do not possess SMART data and in many cases present erroneous data to WindowSMART. Ignoring them prevents their appearance in the UI, and prevents the service from processing them.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2 or Windows Server 2003 family with SP1
