Hello,I have a Toshiba Satellite SP10 - 504(PSP10E)which predicts the imminent failure of the hard drive when I switch on. If I press F1 it boots up and works fine (a bit slow). My question is this:- Is it going to fail or do I have another problem, software maybe?

Its going to fail. No one can predict when but since SMART drive monitoring is notifying you now, it wont be much longer. Do a Backup immediately or risk loosing everything on the laptop.
