Inspiron 5150 Hard Drive Failure
I have an Inspiron 5150 Dell Laptop which i purchased for school in august 2003. When i try to start it up, this message appears:
SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Drive 2: FUJITSU MHT2060AT - (SM)
WARNING: Dell's Disk Monitoring System has detected that the drive on the EIDE controller is operating outside of normal specifications. It is advisable to immediately back up your data and replace your hard-disk drive by calling you support desk or Dell Computer Corporation.
Press F1 to Continue
After that message appears, the computer refuses to boot, with a disk read error resulting and i have to start it up again. I can't go into Safe mode or anythign like that either, so i was wondering what i should do - can a hard drive really die in only 7 or 8 months? Any help would be appreciated, i really dont want to have to buy a new hard drive and lose everything ive got on the laptop to begin with. Thanks
