1312410 2012-11-14 02:38:00 I keep getting a false error from the HDD S.M.A.R.T. feature in bios.
I know how to reach this feature in setup but it is "grayed out " so I can not access it so can not change it to "disabled".

Any ideas' on how to do this please.
Cheers,
Phil.

1312411 2012-11-14 02:50:00 Look under the hdd info. Dbl click on the entry where the dd hdd appears in the BIOS. On some systems, you can disabled SMART here. Altho I dont know about an HP. I've never had one.

Or go to the HP site find the manual for it

1312412 2012-11-14 09:11:00 Are you sure it's false?

SMART doesn't predict all failures but it is rarely incorrect when it does report an error.

1312414 2012-11-15 04:48:00 It's quite possible you would need to modify your BIOS to get the option enabled so you can change it. However it's risky. I would look at what's causing the error, and try to fix it. Even if it's a false error there will still be a cause. Agent_24 (57)
