104892 2002-12-11 21:22:00 Hee hee .. i know ;)

Speaking of PC Manual .. what I really hate is the BIOS so called 'HELP' X-( like Press F1 or F2 for Help inside BIOS setup or for more information.

Eg. if someone doesn't know what SMART for HDD is and they're inside BIOS and ask for more help, all they get is this stupid message .. "Enable or Disable SMART for HDD"

Duh ..

104893 2002-12-11 21:37:00 enable it. it tells you if the hardrive is about to fail. tweak'e (174)
104894 2002-12-11 21:39:00 Okay, coz mine say that they are S.M.A.R.T capable but not enabled. How does it know that? What will it do. I guess I should go home and enable it then! Chilling_Silence (9)
104895 2002-12-11 21:45:00 With SMART enabled, the system will warn you should your HDD is about to fail or die so you could backup most of the stuff b4 it actually kicks the bucket :D SKT174 (1319)
104896 2002-12-11 21:46:00 How does it know that? They make HDD's that are Psychic nowadays? Chilling_Silence (9)
