    Hi can you please help me. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Z580 i5 Windows 8 x64 Bit.Its showing a message that Windows detected a hard disk problem.Its powering up everything I can surf the net type docs etc but after a while that message keeps coming back.How best can I resolve this problem:

    Problem Details:

    Immediate steps
    Because a disk failure cause you to lose all programs ,files and documents on the disk,you should back up your important information immediately.Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced the hard disk.

    Which disk is failing?
    The following hard disks are reporting failure
    Disk Name: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB
    Volume: C:\:D:\

    Thanks in Advance

    Check the S.M.A.R.T data & test it with SeaTools if you want to be sure (though the warning probably is correct). If errors persist, then it looks like you have to replace the drive.

    If you leave it too late, your data may not be possible to salvage.

    EDIT: Forgot to add, those specific hard-drives have a very high fail-rate AFAIK.
