Product Name:  HP Pavillion dv5 Notebook PC

Operating System: Vista -32bit

 

Error Message: The Smart hard disk check has detected an imminet failure. To ensure no data loss, please backup the content immediately and run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.

 

Results of test:  Quick Test - Passed and Full Test - Failed

 

Basic Problem Description: Every time I have to reboot I get the error listed above and if I hit the "ESC" key it ignores the message and everything seems to run normal. I have backed up my had drive, removed as much data as I can, ran "defrag" and a variety of otheer test with no success. Looking for suggestions. Thanks inadvance for the help.

The error means the hdd is failing and will have to be replaced with a new one.
