Hi everyone

It's really anoying to see the " error 301 SMART hard disk problem " message whenever I turn on the machine.

I have to manually press the return button to ignore the page or it will stay right there and won't continue; and after a few minutes if don't push it, for some reason, the CPU will heat up and BOOM! the fan will speed up!

Unless I press return.

Is there any way the ignore the meesage. I couldn't find anything in BIOS.

Thank you.

Yes, of course. The drive is failing.

I'm looking for a solution to ignore the startup error message "error 301 smart hard disk problem." I know the drive is failing, and sooner or later it's going to fail.

 

Since there's no option in the BIOS to bypass that error and make it not to show that error(just like that option in windows and linux and freebsd), my guess is that I have to press the Return button to boot into the system and load the OS. There's no solution to this. Sticking with the Ruturn.
