Bios warnings.

ok i rebooted my pc and when it started back up i got a message before windows had loading saying "primary HDD status = BAD! back up and replace."

erm, wtf? what happened there, i am using it at the moment in windows and all seems fine, speedfan reports it as having 0% fitness because one field says "unknown attribute warning 99"

any thoughts? asides do what the bios says! iv got all the really important stuff off it, still its hard to back up that much data and to loose it is a major pain in the ass. not to mention if i RMA it i wont have my pc for AGES im a sad bunny

Snap!
Unfortunately mine did the same just before xmas, have to admit windows was getting slower bu the day then suddenly WHAM! post screen said smart status bad Backup/replace yada yada, so spent xmas dragging stuff off it back onto older hdd's that i had in othe pc's/spare

fwiw samsungs hdd test software gave me AJ26 error code, still havent rma'd the bugger though!

iv just manage to copy over my stuff to a tiny 160gig drive iv got windows 7 on and it went caput! iv requested my RMA number cos quite frankly this drive is A tiny and B SLOW! i forgot how bad this old thing is!

on a brighter note i really like windows 7 had no problems so far and atm its kinda a main OS till i get my replacement drive back hope it doesnt take long though
