    "The SMART hard disk check has detected an imminent failure.
    To ensure no data loss, please backup the content immediately and run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics"

    Do this:

    0) Get a New HDD.
    1) Get a Linux Boot Disk ( Download - Linux Mint)
    2) Boot into Linux
    3) Copy data from faulty HDD (if you can still access it) to new HDD.
    4) Pray that the drive doesn't die during the copy process.
