By the looks of things, your hard drive has failed.

It's not a problem with F1, it's a problem with your HD. Download and run the hard drive diagnostic utility from the hd manufacturer's website. Also, backup any critical data to off disc media now and be prepared to replace the drive.

I would also after checking the drive move the HDD to Primary master instead of the CDRom drive being there...

Only for a while, it's an indication of impending DOOM!
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology; sometimes written as SMART) is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.
