Warning Message.

I have had trouble with my PC, due to construction failure I from my dealer or a power-blast over the net I had a broken MotherBoard, CPU and Memory, So I had to get new ones.

Now I'm having a 2000Mhz CPU an ASUS P4S... {I think it's P4S500} and new DDR- memory My PC gives a warning-message that says I have to back-up my files and put in a new hard-drive because S.M.A.R.T. - something says my harddrive will crash. I can press F1 and continue BOOT but it is enoying.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on here and what I can do to clear it up? My HardDrive still functions so I think it's kind'a hard to prove it doesn't to get a new one for my guarantee.

My HD is a Maxtor 40.1 Gb

Who is the computer manufacturer, or did you build it yourself?

Might want to consider turning these types of 'features' off in the ASUS (Award) BIOS.

I'm a very big fan of ASUS motherboards, BTW. (have used at least 6 or 8 different ones running either Linux over the years, and about to get another one.)

The Manufacturer was Arcus Computers, but next time I will make it myself.
