My laptop has had a SMART monitoring "imminent failure predicted" error message for months. Someone told me it is wrong like 60% of the time and it looks like it is this time. That same person told me to run a defrag, because it works the hard drive really hard. If there was a problem, it would probably break during the defrag.

Anyway, every time I turn on the computer I have to hit F1 to get past the error message. I'm trying to sell the laptop and having that message pop up will be a pain in the ass when I'm trying to sell it. I mean, I have no problem warning them about it, but it’s just a psychological thing when you turn on the computer and see a hard drive failure message.

How do I disable that SMART monitoring error? I tried going it BIOS and shutting it off. It doesn't allow you to go down to that option in the BIOS. You just can't select the SMART monitoring part of the BIOS.
