SMART:

You can enable or disable SMART monitoring in BIOS.

@narangz: thanks a lot ............good tutorials :D but how to disable in bios :confused:

[nvidia]

It might be there under the miscellaneous option..

[narangz]

It depends. Most of the motherboards have the SMART enable/disable option on the main page itself. It might even be labelled (SMART) HDD/Hard Disk Monitoring or something like that.

[nvidia]

Google your motherboard name and get the manual for it. Maybe you'll find it there..

[praka123]

go to BIOS and enable "enhanced mode" in sata /ide section.

^^ Is that you praka, without cat? :D

Hm.............One thing i want to know i have connected the same HDD to other system and there too its showing me the same error :confused: Can any one tell me why :(

[narangz]

Umm... Have you checked your motherboard manual for SMART?

@Amir.php :- sorry yaar actually at that time i had given my hard disk for data recovery and i was waiting to recover my data .....they told me to connect my HDD to other system and take the back up .:( I recovered my data but HDD is still having the same problem.


@frzkhn:- Yes i have changed the power cables and SATA cables .........but the problem is same:(

[Amir.php]

^^ok, but why you are not following narangz and me?
first follow what narangz saying?

[rohitkorde]

i dont think disabling the S.M.A.R.T feature will stop it from booting up.... :o

If so then there seems to be some problem with ur BIOS or ur Hard Drive.
try these followings :

1.reset the bios to default settings.
2.try to reset the BIOS by changing a jumper setting on ur motherboard(if available on ur motherboard) *
3.remove the System battery and short the two ends of the batterry holder on the motherboard for more than 3 seconds *


*these settings r to be done wen power is OFF.

Warning!!!!....this solutions could harm ur system if ur not familiar enough with the hardware.....BEWARE!!!
