    Bogus bios hard drive failure warning


    PC halted on boot claiming one 3TB drive and one 1TB, hitachi drives were iminently failing.
    I use them for recorded TV files using WMC.
    So I ran crystal disk info, and both drives smart data says they are GOOD, no problems.

    My 1 TB WDC boot drive for win7 has a yellow caution, so will do another macrium backup.

    So why do you suppose the bios flagged my two hitachi drives like that?
    smart says those 2 have 73,000 power on hours, but no flag as bad, could it be my bios just assumes such a drive must be bad?

    :)

    Hard drive failure warning

    Windows 10 is giving me a Hard drive failure warning. But when I check my hard drive with Error Checking from the Properties menu it comes up clean. Is this an error, a virus, or is my hard drive really failing?

    Bogus bios hard drive failure warning

    Who thinks they know hard drives? ^^

    Do you have SMART enabled disk? Have you looked for a warning either in the hard drive section of the BIOS or during the POST phase when booting up your machine?

    These are 2 simple steps I first take when diagnosing hard drive issues.
