If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software 
disk checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC in for 
servicing. Continued use may result in data loss. 
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 Windows > 
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.
