Title: SMART indicating Hard Drive failure
Post by: sarcasticphoenix on July 30, 2012, 08:33:37 AM
Hello, my laptop has been telling me that there is a problem with the hard drive for a couple of days now.
When I first turn on the computer, the HP program preinstalled on to my computer tells me that SMART checking fails.
After logging into Windows, a message box pops up that says, "Windows has detected a Hard Drive problem."
Also, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology program tells me, "Your system is reporting one or more events, and data may be at risk."

I decided to run a GSmartControl scan of the hard drive.
The scan told me:
(and right as I typed that line above, the Windows Hard Drive window pops up)

Reallocated Sector Count is highlighted in red.
Failed: now
Norm-ed value: 9
Worst: 9
Threshold: 10
Raw value: 14944

Reallocation Event Count is highlighted in pink.
Failed: never
Norm-ed value: 100
Worst: 100
Threshold:0
Raw value:703

Here are the ones marked "Pre-Failure":
Read Error Rate
Throughput Performance
Spin-Up Time
Reallocated Sector Count
Seek Error Rate
Seek Time Performance
Spin-Up Retry Count
End to End Error

Everything else is marked "Old Age".
I have only had this laptop for about half an year.
What is the problem with the drive?
What can I do to fix the problems?

I do have:
One extra hard drive (1.8")
The recovery disk to reset everything


Here is the log:

I'm not sure I know what your question is.

1.  SMART is indicating that failure is imminent.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.
2.  Replace the hard drive.
3.  You cannot replace a 2.5" with a 1.8"

Win7 has a Backup Utility to create an image on an external USB drive or your DVD drive.

Sorry, that wasn't (and still isn't) clear to me - but okay. Anyway, you obviously want to replace the drive.

You can get adapters and caddies...

Yes, I know I cannot use that 1.8"... dang, this is horrible.
My computer's hard drive starts to die RIGHT before going on a nice two-week vacation.
Maybe I will go buy some high-tech hard drives in Tokyo.
