 |
|
A newbie's query: During booting, I see the following line on the screen:
Ultra DMA mode -5, S.M.A.R.T. capable but disabled.
I have no idea what this means. Should I enable SMART?
If so, how? Thanks you. Roman |

SMART is a method that monitors the hard disk health. A drive that has
problems will usually (but not always) report smart status issues.
You most likely need to change your BIOS settings to enable smart.
There are utilities that also report your hard drive status.

Its a troll. SMART is automatically enabled for those hard drives with that
capacity in the bios. i It has to be manually disabled in the bios.

Dave,
I assure you that it is not troll. I have no idea whether I did anything
on Bios except for changing boot sequence.
