Yesterday evening when i switched ON my PC, to my surprise the system was unable to boot. It started showing "SMART Command Failed" Error. I was puzzled to see this message. I checked the connection to the hard disk(removed the connection and connected again), but nothing changed.


Reinstalling the OS with the Bootable WIndows DVD also didn't work.

I am using AMD Phenom X 2 555 Processor with ASUS motherboard.

Any solutions/suggestions for this? Am taking the hard drive to the service centre today as it is still within the warranty period!
