    Imminent disk failure??


    Going to look at a friends PC tomorrow, who reports that it throws up a message regarding disk problems/possible failure.
    He tells me that the PC will boot up.

    I am toying with the idea that I will (if possible) clone the existing disk to a spare. Question is will this do the trick OR will the problem be in some way 'transferred' to the receiving disk.
    Your thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    C

    :)

    Hard disk failure is imminent.

    When starting my computer I sometimes get a message that Hard Disk Failure Imminent. Please back up your hard disk and have it replaced. Press F10 for Setup. F2 to continue. The first time I got this screen it clicked on F2 and Windows opened and all
    seemed fine. Now I have the same black screen with same message but when clicking on F2, the computer does nothing. I have not back up my hard disk. What can I do to save this situation or am I just out of luck?

    Greg, you have lost me with all this info. First I cannot seem to get to anything on my computer. Tried to shut down and reopen and it goes right back to the black screen with the Hard disk failure is imminent message. I am not even certain that my wireless
    keyboard is even working now. What a mess. If I cannot get to any diagnostics on my computer, how do I begin to try and address the problem?

    Imminent disk failure??

    Disk Drive Failure

    Any suggestions on the error message? Should I create or save a system Image?

    Error Message:

    The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.
