Anyone having a Maxtor hard drive installed and have this message
appears on the screen when you are booting the computer?

S.M.A.R.T sector bad, back-up and replace. Press F1 to continue... (or
something similar to that phrase)

I got rid of the message by disabling the S.M.A.R.T  section in the CMOS
setup, but I still wonder whether it is something hazardous or something
to worry about. Care to comment or help me out?
