Error message at startup !!

SMART is a very clever technology
Ive come across this error 3 times (all on laptops, fujitsu, toshiba, Mac Powerbook), i have never been able to fix it but i have made a bit of progress.
So basically your hard drive is telling you that its time on this earth is coming to an end. Heres what you can do (and you better do it fast):

1. Backup everything, drivers, documents, media, whatever to another hard drive or CD's (or DvD's)

2. download active SMART
it uses SMART, and its like taking your HD to a doctor whos going to tell you how its going to die.

3. If your warranty is not yet void take it to the repair shop. This is like giving your laptop a risky surgical procedure.

sorry about the medical allegories, ive been reading up on my biology =)

good luck.
