"!SMART : ERROR" HDAT2

[OkFront2]

I was trying to fix my hard drive when I noticed the SMART : ERROR on HDAT2. I'm using HBCD v15.2 (Hiren's Boot CD). Is there any fix for this?

Go into your pc BIOS and disable the smart feature on the drive thats acting up, Im not sure what that error means but SMART is a setting for hard drives on some motherboards (never really bothered looking into it)

Did it also provide you with more information, like what SMART value was out of its intended range? When something discovers SMART issues your HDD is most likely gonna fail soon, so disabling SMART in the BIOS will not fix a thing. Also, what were you trying to "fix" on your HDD?

Bad sectors, but when I tried to fix it with HDAT2, it didn't find any bad sectors
