hey guys,
i've got a problem.
every time i boot up my laptop, its says : SMART Failure Predicted on Harddrive on 0: (harddrive)
i found out that i the SMART system is implemented into the BIOS, and that it isn't always accurate. no prob, i thought, just use the laptop, because you can skip it by pressing F1.
but 2 or 3 weeks later, the system crashed completely, and I couldn't boot it up anymore. i tried re-installing windows xp (with the recovery cds), and it booted up normally. the next day: bam, same problem. 'windows couldn't start up because a file is missing or corrupted'.
is the hard drive broken or can i fix it with a software?
thanks for help,
chris
