I went into the BIOS and enabled SMART. When I rebooted, it failed to start and went into recovery mode.
After the repair action was completed, I am up and running but nothing has changed. Next time I boot, I'll check for the BIOS change BUT I am leaving well enough alone for right now.

This is what I get. Your problem probably runs deeper than simple SMART, try resetting everything by removing the battery if you're upto it.
Just out of interest HDtune does not show me any smart info for my "C" Drive, however it works for all other drives
Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.
