But what surprises me the most is that the error warning says "Backup your data and replace disk" but I'm able to work as usual (from several months ago) Ubuntu says "DISK IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON" Error screenshot 1 Error screenshot 2 When I enter the SMART Data & Self-Tests tab, I cannot succeed performing the "Start Self-Test" option, and it says "Last self-test failed" Take into account that back when I was using Windows 10, the error was latent also. It hasn't dissapeared. I tried solving the problem with CHKDSK, but it kept showing the message. I want to thank you beforehand. hard-drive 17.10 laptop troubleshooting smart share | improve this question edited Jan 31 at 16:48 asked Jan 31 at 16:39 M.
