| 695116 | 2008-08-05 21:38:00 | What is the S.M.A.R.T. setting in the BIOS? Mine is disabled at present. Should it be enabled? To do what? | Richard (739) | ||
| 695117 | 2008-08-05 21:43:00 | Its for SMART enabled hdd's It doesnt matter if its enabled (but helps if the hdd supports it), or disabled |

| 695120 | 2008-08-05 22:18:00 | Some of these BIOSes have had to be updated because they weren't interpreting some models of HD properly. If you put in a drive the manufacturer didn't use, you may strike this problem. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 695121 | 2008-08-06 07:09:00 | SMART keeps a check on your Hard drive and issues a warning if it thinks that the drive has a problem - time to back up, before it packs up! Can slow booting a little, but worth enabling. | mzee (3324) | ||
