Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring
and Reporting Technology)
checks the hard disk drive during
POST and gives a warning
message if the hard disk drive
requires servicing. If any critical
hard disk drive warning is given
during bootup, backup your data
immediately and run Windows
disk checking program. To run
Window’s disk checking program:
click Start > select Computer >
right-click a hard disk drive icon
> choose Properties > click the
Tools tab > click Check Now >
click Start. You can also select “Scan ... sectors” for more effective
scan and repair but the process will run slower.
