Today on bootup, after the drives are recognized this message comes up: Primary master hard drive S.M.A.R.T status BAD. Warning: Immediately backup your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent. Then I run the manufacturer's drive test and it says: Congratulations, your drive passed the test, and it is in good condition. So, which do I believe, the warning or the test? And, if I decide to believe the test and keep using the drive, how do I get rid of the message that halts bootup? >> Stay informed about: BIOs Warns Hard Drive Failing, but Drive Passes Test

Post the Everest SMART report, for a better idea about what is happening with the drive. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181 >> Stay informed about: BIOs Warns Hard Drive Failing, but Drive Passes Test

This is something different, e.g. a shot motor driver or a defectiove PSU that is unstable on the 12V line. Do not continue using this system until you have found the problem and make a complete backup NOW! The vendor diagnostics is simply lying to you, this is a very serius issue, as it could well cause catatstropic death, i.e. a completely inaccessible drive without further warning.

Some drive makers enable warning thresholds for things that don't really constitute anything to worry about. For instance I have some Fujitsu drives that give warnings about the "power on count". Basically Fujitsu didn't expect the drive to last so long. Since there are no real problems with those drives, I ignore that particular SMART value. If the manufacturer specific utility doesn't find a problem, I would just suggest disabling the SMART warning in the BIOS setup. -- Michael Cecil http://macecil.googlepages.com/index.htm http://macecil.googlepages.com/safehex.htm http://macecil.googlepages.com/hackingvista.htm >> Stay informed about: BIOs Warns Hard Drive Failing, but Drive Passes Test

I found the following interesting document: http://datacent.com/maxtor_data_recovery.php?hdd=Maxtor&model=5T030H3 "Another issue with Maxtor hard drives is damage to the components on the cirquit board (PCB). Maxtor drives are very vulnerable to overheating, power surges and bad power supply unit combined with power streak is usually enough to burn spindle driver (usually SMOOTH L2750 chip) on the PCB." FWIW, a few people at this forum are also having spin-up issues with Maxtor drives: http://my.ocworkbench.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=50318 Here are some examples of catastrophic failure: Burnt Chip on Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 causes drive failure: http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/burnt-chip-on-maxtor-diamondmax-hard-disk.htm Smooth L7250 chip family: http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/hard-disk-smooth-l7250.htm - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. >> Stay informed about: BIOs Warns Hard Drive Failing, but Drive Passes Test
