BIOs Warns Hard Drive Failing, but Drive Passes Test
Today on bootup, after the drives are recognized this message comes
up: Primary master hard drive S.M.A.R.T status BAD. Warning: Immediately backup your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent. Then I run the manufacturer's drive test and it says: Congratulations, your drive passed the test, and it is in good condition. So, which do I believe, the warning or the test? And, if I decide to believe the test and keep using the drive, how do I get rid of the message that halts bootup?
