SMART:

You can enable or disable SMART monitoring in BIOS.

@narangz: thanks a lot ............good tutorials

but how to disable in bios

It might be there under the miscellaneous option..

narangz · 17-07-2008, 06:03 PM

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.

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

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

smile · 17-07-2008, 08:37 PM

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

Can any one tell me why

narangz · 17-07-2008, 09:34 PM

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

Amir.php · 18-07-2008, 11:30 AM

@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 · 19-07-2008, 08:07 PM

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

rohitkorde · 19-07-2008, 08:32 PM

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

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!!!
contact a qualified Engg Instead.
