Please help Thanks, Sam You might see if SMART feature is enabled in your bios. I've had drives that were going bad and this was picked up by motherboard SMART check but running manufacturer's diagnostic showed nothing wrong. I suggest making a backup of any important data on the drive asap, as drive could continue to work or fail at any time (depending on if it's the problem of course).
