Hello,
First of all, merry christmas.
And now my problem:
Three days ago my laptop gave an error before loading Win7 (DOS): A S.M.A.R.T. error saying HDD failure imminent, backup all important data and replace HDD.
I ran a s.m.a.r.t. diagnostic tool, saying the HDD had a "Raw read error". Value was "1", worst "1", threshold "51". On top of that, it gave about 100 pending errors.
The Raw Read Error Rate has been stable since I got the first error. Also I had Windows running chkdsk, which gave no errors.
Is my HDD done for? What can I do?
Regards,
Gosse
