Question : Problem: Sony Vaio bios issue
I have a sony vaio pcv-rx651 desktop pc with windows xp home edition on it, the issue is with the bios i believe, it boots up and i get this warning that the master hard drive is about to fail and to back up my data. I press F1 to bypass it. i need to find an update for this bios it is an award medallion v6 REV 1002. I have seen that there is a Bios revision of 1005 or later out there but i can not find it. it is saying that SMART detected it but SMART is disabled in the bios.
Answer : Problem: Sony Vaio bios issue
that message, as said is not a BIOS message, it is a S.M.A.R.T message, and relates to your disk drive.
i suggest running the manufacturesr diag to know it's status :
