The Primary Ide Master Hard Drive Self Monitoring System Has Reported That A Parameter Has Exceeded
ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Hard drive parameter exceeded its normal operating range up vote 0 down vote favorite I few days ago, I started seeing this message during boot: NOTICE - HD SELF MONITORING SYSTEM has reported that a parameter has exceeded its normal operating range. Dell recommends that disable smart reporting you backup your data regularly. A parameter out of range may or may not indicate a potential hard drive problem. Press F1 to continue, F2 to enter SETUP When I hit F1, it used to boot normally but then I noticed that my secondary hard drive is not visible in Windows Explorer. Now this message isn't appearing anymore when booting and BIOS cannot detect that hard drive either. The hard drive never showed any signs of normal malfunction (sounds etc.) and never had any physical damage etc. It looks as new except some dust it accumulated over the years. I switched SATA cables to see if they were corrupted but in vain. I put that hard drive in an enclosure but that didn't work either. The hard drive does spin when I turn on power on this enclosure. The computer boots fine without any issue but the secondary drive isn't visible at all. Question: How can I retrieve data from the secondary drive which has these problems? OS: Windows 7 Pro Primary disk: 250GB SSD internal Secondary disk: 2TB HDD internal hard-drive bios crash hardware-failure share|impr

The screw up? When you cut the computer on, it boots to a black screen with the following white text at the bottom:NOTICE - Hard Drive SELF MONITORING SYSTEM has reported that a parameter has exceeded its normal operating range.

If I press F2 it boots to a blue screen the reads "Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility" across the top with a bunch of slection options such as System Info, Standard SMOS Features, Boot Device Configuration, Power Management Setup, and the list goes on. I tried going in to Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking by hitting F1 followed by F8, but after loading the drivers it goes right back to the orig
