SMART failure prdicted on hard disc 2

WARNING: Immediately back up ur data and replace your hard disc drive. A failure may be imminent

so guys plz help out to solve this problem..
appreciate it..

If your LapTop is still in Warranty Period, better get the HDD replaced.

I presume, by restart you mean to say - every time you power on your laptop. SMART is actually a standard to improve the reliability of hard drives. It reports issues with the hard disk which can happen due to a lot of reason. It gives a notice like you get due to it. But SMART is not always accurate. It is generally taken as a preventive measure to give you the heads up. So, If I were you - I would probably contact HP given that the laptop is still under warranty and get the hdd replaced.

And yes, backup your important data. You never know....

smart : Self Monitoring and reproting technology..
this techno..
will generate errors if your harddisk is gonaa to die..
so backup yr data and replace yr harddisk..

Yes, make a Back-Up.
