DiskTune build 1.0.26 adds a HDD temperature monitor

DiskTune now monitors the hard disk temperature during analysis and all defragmentation processes. If the hard disk temperature exceeds the safe threshold, DiskTune will show a warning message. You then have 4 options:
- Do nothing and wait. DiskTune will continue when it's safe to do so
- Stop current operation
- Continue (good chance the warning will pop up again in a few seconds)
- Disable HDD temp monitoring
But basically you can leave the PC unattended.

Was just reading an article on the great defrag shootout on the risk of disks getting pretty hot during defragmentation. And for those who don't know: hot disk is not good.

Edit: I introduced a bug in 1.0.26, it is fixed in v1.0.27. If you already downloaded 1.0.26 please download again. Sorry about that!

Edit: I have uploaded build 1.0.46. DiskTune now displays the temperature of the host on which the selected logical volume is located. DiskTune 1.0.46 should be able to access more files, and I've added some indicators that show if DiskTune is running, stopped, moving files etc..

I will soon finish documentation and bring a DiskTune page online on our website at http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/DiskTune.htm.
