replace your HDD or you could disable S.M.A.R.T. in the BIOS S.M.A.R.T. isn't kidding me neither[ot]i don't recommend disabling S.M.A.R.T. in the BIOS[/ot] BTW: backup your data ASAP
i backed up data even before posting the problem here.. i know i have to replace my hard disk..from the S.M.A.R.T message which i have got i was just curious if i could overcome or solve this problem..in any way
