Recently everytime i turn on my pc, before the windows loading screen, it pop out a message
"A problem with the hard drive has been detected. Press the enter key to continue"

Although i can start windows by pressing enter key, but after i enter windows it pop out another message.
"Windows detected a hard disk problem"
"Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss"

Hard disk : Seagate ST3200827AS ATA Device

Anyone could please tell me the solution, I really appreciate it.
Thanks

If it's a Dell press F12 for the boot menu and then run the HDD Diag. Or download Seagates diag software. Try running "fsutil set dirty bit c:" and reboot. This will run chkdsk.

Open task manager end DFDwiz.exe.if running.

Open system 32 directory take ownership of DFDwiz.exe

Install softwares like tuneup utilities

Use the tune up shredder to delete that file

Restart system

Relax

It is because the harddrive is being looked after by S.M.A.R.T "Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology". Now it is telling you to:
1). Back up your data. And do it now, otherwise
you will lose all of your info.
2). Your harddrive is going bad.
3). Get another harddrive to store your info on.
So now you have been warned so take heed and get another drive.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
