IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after 
running a software disk checking utility, you should take your 
Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use may result in data 
loss. 
Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring 
and Reporting Technology) 
checks the hard disk drive during 
POST and gives a warning 
message if the hard disk drive 
requires servicing. If any critical 
hard disk drive warning is given 
during bootup, backup your data 
immediately and run Windows 
disk checking program. To run 
Window’s disk checking program: 
click Start > select Computer > 
right-click a hard disk drive icon 
> choose Properties > click the 
Tools tab > click Check Now > 
click Start. You can also select “Scan ... sectors” for more effective 
scan and repair but the process will run slower.
