    Imminent hard drive failure on boot up


    I have been getting a "imminent hard drive failure for the better part of a year every time my PC boots up. I ran Chkdisk and found no errors but I went and got an SSD and did a clean install of Windows10 on it. I have a 2 TB external hard drive that has been running back ups. I reformatted the old drive and set it up as a data drive but I still get the error on boot up. It isn't really hurting anything but its annoying and stops the boot sequence. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Hard drive failure imminent

    My HP laptop bought 2016 gave me a hard drive failure imminent alert. I bought a new hard drive and handed it over to a repair tech.

    He had stated that the partitions have been damaged and wants to know my Windows 10 smart key before he begins to install the new hard drive.

    I have no idea how to get that information. I also know less than zero about computer hardware or software.

    What steps can I take to get this code needed? I've been without my laptop for 2 months now and it is financially becoming a burden as I can't process any custom orders. I depend on that third job to keep afloat, now more than ever, my second job just eliminated
    due to covid.

    Please, if you have suggestions, I really need to hear them.

    I thank you in advance.

    Jennifer

    Projected Hard drive failure issue

    I have an HP laptop that boots up to error "Smart hard drive check has detected imminent failure". I have no issue with replacing the hard drive but have no idea how to get Windows 10 reinstalled/recovered. Currently files/photos/ect. are backed up. Any
    suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Imminent hard drive failure on boot up

    Imminent hard drive failure, need help

    Hi,

    Today, I got the imminent hard drive S.M.A.R.T. failure warning. My pc is a rebranded HP Touch Smart All-in-one 23" i-7 so no help from HP. I have used Seatools and it failed. All of my data is backed up. Should I try to ID the drive before I attempt
    to open the pc? I would like to upgrade, if possible to SSD. It has a Pegatron motherboard and I also need to find a way to upgrade the memory as it at 4gb.

    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    Brian
