Re: [LI] S.M.A.R.T Capability



HI aane...

the S.M.A.R.T warns u about eminent system failures or hard disk malfunctions...if u want to enable it u can do itin the BIOS when booting up..i think it's DEL or F1...or it's system specific....i have mine enabled because i can come to know of any problems in advance..if u have doubts about anything check out www.webopedia.com they have the most comprehensive information about any computer related aspect....

heres what they say

Acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an
open standard for developing disk drives and software systems that automatically monitor a disk drive's health and report potential problems. Ideally, this should allow you to take proactive actions to prevent impending
                 disk crashes.

take care
chini
