S.m.a.r.t. hd error upon booting...

Hi all..I keep getting a f1 error message when booting this machine
regarding that s.m.a.r.t. technology feels my disk will eventually crash. I
disabled this option in the bios yet the message still comes up during the
boot process and I have to hit f1 to proceed. I have an image of my drive
and other back ups so a crash would not be a disaster. How can I stop this
message from reappearing?

Do you have any other software monitoring the S.M.A.R.T?

It's really no big thing I guess. Just hit f1 and it continues on. Just a
little annoying to keep having to hit that button. I thought disabling it in
the bios would be sufficient.

Depending on the make and model of HDD there may be a utility provided by
the manufacturer which enables you to turn off S.M.A.R.T. on the drive
(haven't seen anything that resets a tripped flag though). Have a nosey at
their web site.

I did look at their website. States to disable in the bios. Only thing I can
think of now is to clear the cmos. Might that work? Like stated before it is
no big thing I can hit f1 and go but now it is the principle of the matter.
Want to fix it ))

Did the BIOS revert to checking again?...or does the change that you
made stay as 'not check' in the BIOS?

If it stays set to 'not check', then you have another program that is
doing the checking.

Investigate msconfig...also any running processes and things in your
Event Viewer.


Have a nice week...

Still set to disabled in the bios. Don't see anything else running in the
background. Fresh install of windows on the machine.
