SMART or smart or S.M.A.R.T. stands for - Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology or S.M.A.R.T. it is a monitoring system for computer hard drives to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. Heed the warnings. Do not ignore them.

usually means you have multiple badsectors, it can be repaired using your HD manufacturer bootable cd but usually its just a matter of time before it rolls over and dies. your best option is to image the drive with something like clonezilla or just backup your important files to a cd or dvd and buy another HD off a site like newegg.

Did you have a power failiure?Battery or AC?
Normally if power fails the computer on restart will want to continue the last process it was doing before the crash.
so you can either shut down again (while its trying to start)by holding the power button for 10 seconds till it stops) then restart,
this will clear the memory and restart without any problems,
if it needs to check the hard drives directories and fix any let it,
You can always restore the working setting later on,if you need too...

No mention of which OS your using so if you need more help can I have the Operating System too thanks and what updates are installed.
Should be Vista but Xp might work too,Misterdj

When I try to start my Acer Aspire 3050 notebook I get "SMART Failure Predicted in Hard Disk 0: SAMSUNG HM160JC-(PM) WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace youre hard disk. A...

The hard drive has already failed, there are probably some bad sectors on the hardware so windows has corrupted files and can not back up. If you have the recovery disc, try and reload the operational system, it will quickly prove if the hardware is the issue. But! before you go out and buy a new hard drive have them test the old one first.

Hard Disk Problem

That failure is predicted by the SMART reporting system. Its a status chip on the drive that reports to apps that can read the smart data from the hard drive. Its not always accurate but it usually is.

Time backup your data on that drive ASAP and then buy a new drive.

Acer 1642 laptop is giving me much trouble. Was working fine until, fapoot... now i receive a message: SMART failure predicted on hard drive 0:ST6100825A-(PM), please help if you can

A SMART failure means that your hard drive is predicted to fail
soon. Fortunately these warnings are not right 40%-50% of the time. Go to the command prompt (start- run- type in "cmd")
In the prompt type in "chkdsk"
This will run tests on your hard drive and tell if there is anything wrong with it.

ACER SMART failure

SMART means self monitoring and reporting tool, this is the option which performs certain test for the status of hard disk health, if its coming it means condition of your hard disk is not good, its better if you immediately back up your data and replace it, by the way you can also disable this warning through the bios, just disable the smart feature in hard disk

When you turn the computer on it says SMART Failer predicted on hard disk 0: HTS54108G9SA00-(S1)

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnostic method originally developed by IBM that at that time referred to as "Predictive Failure Analysis". This technology was developed for IBM mainframe drives to give advanced warning of drive failures. Based on this diagnostic, Compaq announced IntelliSafeTM, which was submitted to the ATA/IDE standards committees and the resulting standard was named S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. analyzes many of the mechanical attributes; over time, some failures can be predicted by detecting if the hard disk drive is moving out of tolerance. While the S.M.A.R.T. technology can detect upcoming issues, not all hard drive failures are predictable.


All this means on most modern drives is the hard drive is coming close to the maximum tolerances

I usually switch off in the bios smart monitoring.

This system is trying to predict a possible failure, which may or may not occur..
