hi all, i have a compaq desktop hear, and when it boots, its giving me this erorr, SMART, Back up and replace, press F2 to boot, i press F2, and it boots. The pc does seam to run ok, but i have a felling that the hard drive may be on its way out. I have checked the bios for a setting to disable the SMART warning and i cant find it. Is there a way i can erase the smart erorr or fix my hard drive? i really don't have any money for a new HD at this time. Thx

Yes...if your computer still works, you're lucky SMART actually caught it. Just make a backup of everything and be sure you don't save anything else on the drive. Who knows, it might continue to work for another few months...or it might die tonight.

One suggestion, if it does die and you were unable to backup all your data, stick the hard drive in the freezer for a while. It's been proven to work. Makes the hard drive work again for a few hours.... just enough time to get all ur data off of it.
