ERROR: S.M.A.R.T status bad, backup and replace.


Please help me asap, thank you!
P.s. when I try the del or the F1 or the F12 the whole screen goes black, and I don't know how to fix what the error says to do?
 
Solution
"ERROR: S.M.A.R.T status bad, backup and replace"

The solution is spelled out right there plain & simple, the hard drive has failed and therefore needs replacing with a new one.

Connect the drive to another PC to see if you can rescue any data from it before dumping it, but it may already be too late for data rescue so I hope you were wise enough to keep backups of all your important stuff..
