I recently had this issue. My notebook is nearly new. After pressing F1, the Windows loads normally. I scanned virus but all were fine. Then, I searched and found this tutorial and followed: [http://www.backup-utility.com/articles/smart-failure-predicted-on-hard-disk-1203.html|http://www.backup-utility.com/articles/smart-failure-predicted-on-hard-disk-1203.html]. I checked partition but found no bad sectors. I defragment disk. Then, I reboot my computer but the error was still there. Therefore, I backup my entire hard disk because my computer is under warranty so I may have to replace a hard disk and restore.
