I am continuously receiving smart, hard disk error 301, and my laptop fails to run after connecting with hard drive what should I do is there any virus entered please help me.
When you are encountering the smart, hard disk error 301 you should create a backup of all your data because any time your hard disk gets crashed so pay much attention to it. There is much software that can scan your hard drive and tell you the solution or you can go for trouble shooting error. If all these doesn’t work then go to search menu then command prompt type SFC/scan now hope this will work.
If that is a S.M.A.R.T. alert then that means your hard drive is in bad condition. In this case, you should backup your data immediately because a S.M.A.R.T. problem indicates that your hard drive is about to fail anytime. You should backup all the data on your computer to a separate hard disk.
There’s no telling when the drive will stop functioning and when that happens, there’s no way you can make it work again. S.M.A.R.T. is a feature in modern hard drives that self-monitors its own physical state and health to predict an imminent failure. This feature helps users provide enough time to backup data on a different physical drive avoiding data loss.
The S.M.A.R.T. feature is integrated into the hard disk itself and runs continuously as you use your computer tracking and checking the performance and consistency of the storage device. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. When a S.M.A.R.T. failure happens, you should replace your hard drive.
