SMART BAD but disk looks OK

[BertieBigBollox]

SMART reports it as BAD but I've booted using ultimatebootcd and ran a
shedload of disk checking utilities and its come up fine...

Is it possible the SMART is incorrect?

Very, very unlikely. Unless there was another problem, such
as a bad PSU and you did the test in a different computer.

Nope, because that is what the drive itself says
if the ute is accurately reporting the SMART data.

If the SMART ute is just a good/bad report, try posting the Everest SMART report here.
