Ive got an ASRock K7VM2 motherboard with S.M.A.R.T
feature, when i enable it, in the startup when its checks
your drives it says S.M.A.R.T status is BAD, what does
this mean? how do i solve this problem?
 
Hi Matt,

It means you should download and run a software drive diagnostic on your
hard drive from the manufacturer. A smart failure is an indication that the
drive is failing. Be careful with the diagnostic tool, some of the tests can
wipe out the drive.
