1720-SMART detetcts imminent failure (Fail Attr:02)
 |
Compaq Evo N800v w/XP Pro gives the following message during boot;
1720-SMART Hard Drive detects imminent failure (Failing Attr:02). If I ignore, it boots up and I log on normally (even the screeen, but then after a while it goes black and I have the SMART message...
If I do a HDD Self-Test in ROM, it does Test 1(quick) to 90 % complete it stops, and comes out with "Error:Read failure"
If I choose ROM based Setup, and try to restore defaults, nothing changes.
So any help would be greatly appreciated... please....

I think your drive is going to fail. Try to do a clean install and check if you can do it successfully. If not, replace your hard drive.

Take SMART errors for what they are -- impending failure. Back up data and replace drive ASAP.
Any 2.5inch x 9.5mm IDE (PATA) notebook drive of 120GB or less will work. Over 120GB depends on chipset and BIOS but your notebook should support larger drives.
Take your pick:
