SMART monitoring is a feature of some motherboards that keeps watch of several hard drive parameters. If any of these go outside of a preset range you'll get that message at startup. While this doesn't mean a hard drive failure is imminent, you should follow the advice and back up any data you don't want to lose before it's too late. It's a good habit to back up important files like digital pictures that may be impossible to replace, but far too few people do it.

Hey, either a hard disk corruption or some missing/corrupt files - Solution: Format and reinstall your Operating system. If that doesnt work, maybe you need a hard disk replacement.
But before that, are you sure you haven't connected any USB drives or flash drives or an external hard drive when you computer boots up. That could be the reason. Solution: disconnect any such device before you start your computer.

Have you changed any of the files since backing them up? If not that is why they show a Sept 2008 date. yes you can be slective, depending on which backup and restore app you are using. Effectively only highlight the ones you want to restore and then activate the restore process.

go to my computer and then click on the icon for that drive. look for the back up files dated july 3rd. if they are not there your back up failed at that time.
