I was just going to post the same problem. I can confirm that there has been an ongoing bug, at least in the last few versions. I don't lose all the icons at one time. On my system a few will disappear at a time. Even though I keep re-enabling them in the settings, the same ones will disappear on the next boot. To fix it, at least for a little while, I was deleting the HDSentinel.ini file, but had to set all my option over again. Recently I've found a much easier fix. Simply shutdown HD Sentinel, open the HDSentinel.ini in a text editor and delete the drives with the disappearing icons from the entry below. The icons will reappear automatically on the next startup of HD Sentinel.

It works pretty well. The disappearances seem to correlate to HD Sentinel crashing, a Windows BSOD and possibly the weekly Windows Preview build install. I'm not sure yet. I haven't had the time to thoroughly investigate.
I hope this helps in with your problem.
