HDD Error at start up

[G|mp]

Every boot up im getting an error that says this.......

Pri slave hard disk: S.M.A.R.T status bad, back up and replace

Press F1 to resume

So i F1 and its fine can access everything on the disk no probs at all, it doesnt
need a de frag and everything seems ok but i get it at every start up

Drive is a Maxtor ( i know) 30 gig

Any ideas?
