replace your HDD or you could disable S.M.A.R.T. in the BIOS

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
