Use the free and very good smartmontools:

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Yes I am very very confused when they make statements that Smaller
means that its going to fail


Which is comletely wrong, of course, unlss you are talking about
raw, uninterpreted values. But nobody can read these direcly
anyway.

Can some one explain what the 3 readings mean & the RAW one,...


Which ones? Maybe post the compete output from 'smartctl -a /dev/hda'
(assuming it is the first disk) here?

Not all articles that I have found name the 3 attributes the same..
Thanks


Arno
