HArd Disk Smart Status Bad - Western Digital
When I plug in my Western Digital it gives me the following error:
"IDE Channel 2 Slave Hard Disk.....
S.m.a.r.t Status Bad
Warning: Immediately Back Up"
It is a WD 5000YS, I guess.......
It will not allow my computer to boot when I plug it in. If I connect it alone or with my other HD my cpu will not boot. With it plugged in the initial Win 7 Load screens go by. But eventually it just locks on a solid black screen. I think sometimes with a cursor top left. Surly there is a way to boot my CPU with it hooked up so I can test it?
What can I try? Is there anything I need to tell you to help me?
