SOURCE: S.M.A.R.T Command failed

It means that the hard disk SMART monitoring system has detected problems serious enough to warn you of the growing possibility of hard disk failure. Sometimes a drive will last quite awhile after this first notification, but there is a good chance of imminent failure, in minutes, hours, days, or weeks. You should immediately look into installing a replacement drive.

You should immediately copy any important data off the drive, perform full backups, and limit use of it.

If you can install drives yourself, a new hard disk (especially Seagates) usually come with software to clone your existing drive to the new drive. Otherwise, a repair shop will be able to do it for you.

I recommend also purchasing a drive enclosure for your old drive. For whatever life it still has, it will be a good backup of your system.

More information is posted here: http://www.fixya.com/support/t286025-s_m_r_t_command_failed

It is recommended to do a hard drive backup as soon as possible. And even replace that hard drive as soon as possible. Before full physical failure.

Rakesh here. hi, i can notice several changes with my samsung SP04IIN HDD as mentioned below.. 1. more noise from my hard disk these days. 2. primary master hard drive s.m.a.r.t command failed, press...

The drive sounds like it is failing. Noisy drives are a classic sign of impending failure. I would back up all of my critical files and replace the drive as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more damage can be done and you might not be able to recover files. Good luck
