Solve : smart warning?

1.	Solve : smart warning?
Answer» Hello: When I open my Sony laptop, I get a smart warning. It SAYS that failure is imminent, back up hard drives, but it doesn't say more than that. The system specs I can find are: Intel core 2duo CPU p8600 Installed memory 3GB 2.87 GB usable, Windows 7 service pack 1, disk Toshiba Mk3252 GSX. Can this computer be saved? Is there anything we can do to fix whatever problem may exist? Thank you. Dr.DA SMART error is related to the hard drive's self-testing mechanism, which has DETECTED that the hard drive isn't reliable anymore. Try troubleshooting and repairing errors in your hard drive with this tool: HTTP://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk and after that, immediately back up your hard drive by removing it from your laptop, plugging it into a working computer with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392032 and then create an image of your hard drive with http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2008/09/05/5-free-apps-to-clone-your-hard-drive/ You can then REPLACE your hard drive with a new one and still have all your data intact.
