Hi,

 

Sounds like the HDD is not looking good. Please back up your data and files now before too late.

 

Regards.

A message from another response elsewhere stated that for Windows 10, this error is a false (bug)message related to to the SMART drive. Disk Chect shoewed no errors and other reports show the HD is okay.

 

It is the beginning of the month so I backup and/or image everything via 2 programs anyway.

 

Thanks
