The SMART warning is telling you that there is a hardware problem with your hard
drive and you should heed it's advice and back up your data ASAP. You message is a
bit unclear as to whether or not you can boot into safe mode. If you can then backup
your data while in safe mode. If you can't then you may need to pull your hard drive
and place it in another computer running W2K/XP Pro to try and copy your data files
including your user profile under documents and settings folder. There are adapters
that allow laptop drives to be slaved in a desktop computer. --- Steve

No, hard drives are not repairable. They just replace them. If you take it to who you
bought it from or someone who replaces the hard drive, they may be able to try and
copy your old hard drive install to the new one depending on what kind of shape it is
in. You might also want to email the manufacturer of your laptop with the specific
error you are getting to see what they have to say. -- Steve
