[QUOTE="louishen, post: 557437, member: 40142"] Both questions require you to back-up first. Basically, buy or borrow an external and back-up everything as soon as you possibly can. You will need a new hard drive very soon, the S.M.A.R.T. Status is the disks self diagnostics, the disk it telling your mac it is on its way out, so again -back-up now. If it is under warranty, take it back to Apple, if not you can pick up a new hard disk for not that much. The new disk can be formatted just for mac [/QUOTE]
