February 28th, 2011 12:45 PM #13 days ago, when I boot up my office PC, I was greeted by this message displayed on the monitor:
A problem with the hard drive has been detected.
Press the Enter key to continue.
After pressing the Enter key, Windows booted normally without a problem. I also didn't encounter any problem while using the PC.
How would I know what kind of problem was detected on my hard disk?

Go to My Computer - right click the hard disk - Properties - Tools tab - Check Now
That will run the Disk Utility of Windows.

February 28th, 2011 01:20 PM #3I think that's the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) feature of the hdd working.
To be sure, right click on "My Computer" then select "Manage", this will open the "Computer Management" window.
Select "Event Viewer" then "System" then check for entries pertaining to HDD error. There will be entries there like "\Device\Harddisk0\D" or something like that stating there are bad blocks.
If I were you, back-up the HDD that's showing error then try replace or run a third party HDD health monitoring/repair utilities.

March 1st, 2011 07:13 PM #5This is what I got:
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.
Does it mean I must replace the HD already?
This will be my 3rd hard disk failure in 3 months on 3 different computers. And all are Seagates!

March 1st, 2011 07:20 PM #6Thats most likely the SMART early detection system. To be sure, go to seagate.com and download seatools. Run it and it will tell you if your drive is for replacement.
Looks like a bad batch from seagate. Happened before with IBM, the infamous deathstar drives and Seagate.

March 1st, 2011 07:24 PM #8The 3 hard drives that failed are 1 80GB, 1 120GB and this latest one with 500GB.

I don't think it's a bad batch.
