IT Queries: Computer problems answered

Hello, when my computer boots up I see the following: Master disc HDD S.M.A.R.T capability disabled.

Is this a problem and if it is what do I do to fix it?

S.M.A.R.T stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology a function built into modern hard drives that gives early warning of problems inside the drive.

On your system S.M.A.R.T has been disabled which means your system will not be watching for those early warning signs of trouble.

Turning this on is fairly simple but the setting will lie deep in your system’s BIOS settings and you’ll have to get a computer tech or the unit’s supplier to change those settings.
