Yesterday, while recording with FRAPS to my secondary HDD that I've had for about a month, the game minimized and gave me the message saying that a problem with said HDD had been detected and that failure was imminent. This message continued to appear every few minutes for the duration of the session. When I booted up today, the BIOS gave me the S.M.A.R.T. status warning, but I've been using it for a few hours without receiving the Windows error message at all.
I've backed up everything important to a different location just in case, but I'm not 100% sure what the problem is, if there really is one. Check Disk found nothing wrong. I'm able to play games off of the drive with no issue, and I'm installing one to it as a test, also with nothing abnormal.
If the BIOS thing keeps up it's worth looking into the warranty just for that, but is there anything I can do to better test or fix this myself? Any help would be much appreciated.
