It was working just fine last night and nothing looked weird when it was shutting down. I came back from work not http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000184.htm too long ago and turned on the computer and I was stuck at the very first screen with all the following displayed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMIBIOS (C) 2005 American Megatrends, Inc.

Press F1 to Resume -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I pressed F1, and the next screen is this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot devices and press okay -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing happened after that. By the way, both my optical drives are "blind" (they still open and close but can't read anything). So anyhow, I re-started the computer and must have pressed F8 because a screen popped up and I was asked to choose a boot device. I guess both my primary and slave storage devices are Western Digital (I forgot what the slave was though) so when I saw the options, I picked the WDC one (I now know that was the slave). After I did that, I once again got to the "Reboot and select proper Boot device" screen a
Replace" Press F1 to Resume error indicates that the hard drive is about to fail or has already failed. The S.M.A.R.T. system is a utility that monitors the "health" of the hard drive and reports any potential problems. As an early warning system, it allows the computer owner time to back up any important files before the hard drive fails. In the above example, the error message indicates that the Pri Master or Primary Master hard drive is the drive that is bad. If there is more than one hard drive in the computer, this error may change depending on the bad drive. If the computer can boot after pressing the F1 key immediately backup all information on the computer and contact the hard drive manufacturer for replacement or additional help. In some very rare cases, the S.M.A.R.T. implementation on your computer may have issues of its own and may need to be patched before replacing the hard drive. If you press the F1 key and the computer cannot boot, one or more of the files on the computer that are required to boot may be corrupted. It may still be possible to recover some of the data on the hard drive. You need to boot from another disk like an UBCD or Linux LiveCD, which you can create on another computer. Once you've booted to an alternate location the files may still be accessible on the bad drive, and if accessible they can be moved to an alternative location such as a USB jump drive. If I get a S.M.A.R.T. error is it ok if I continue to use my hard drive? As stated above, S.M.A.R.T. is designed to detect upcoming failures in the hard drive. While the hard drive may not fail for several months, it is still inevitable that the hard drive will fail. It is ok to continue to use the hard drive, however, we highly recommend that if you are still under warranty that you consider getting the drive replaced before your warranty runs out. Tip: Many users can also enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T detection through their CMOS setup. 1720 - smart hard drive detects imminent failure This error message is related to S.M.A.R.T and is an indication of failure.
