    Ok, I've had this laptop for over 3 years now, and I just got this message today. It says that a hard drive failure will be imminent. I want to know what if anyone else has seen this problem before and what I should do. Oh course I am trying to back up my stuff to my desktop but its running really slow. So I am running Spybot Search and Destroy, I don't know if that will help. But here is a picture of the message.
