smart failure = your hardrive's life is almost over and a failure WILL happen very soon. Its a warning for you to ghost your HD to a new disk because it will fail.

Dont kid your self your HD is going to fail soon

Talking Freezeing The Hard Drive

ITS PROVEN!!! I took this old 200GB hard drive that died and the computer said that it had some bad sectors. I was unable to format and or install windows on it any more. So i put it in the frezzer for about 6 hours, i took it out and i let it get warm for about 30 min. I put it back in the pc and i was able to format it and reinstall windows. the hard dirve has been running for about 2 weeks now and i havent had 1 problem with it! Thanks so much all! You helped me out!
