hi

I have a problem with my hard drive. recently my boot up time has bee
slower than normal. So this is what i did
a) press "esc" at startup and enter test mode
b) did a "boot up test" both memory and hard drive were tested. memor
passed the test while hard drive stoped at 30% with this message a
follows
#10008 - replace hard disk
1720 - S.M.A.R.T. Hard drive detects imminent failure.

After that i did another test in the system Bios on the hard driv
which took over 1 hour. and at the end it said "test passed

i dont know what i should do. here are my specs
HP pavilion entertainment PC DV4-1220u
AMD Turion X2 @2.1gh
4gb ddr2 ra
ATI radeon HD320
250 GB SATA hard drive @5400 rpm

Download and run the disk manufacturer's diagnostic utility. This will
give a better indication than the Windows tests.

You can also check on its manufacturer's site to see if your disk has
any remaining warranty.
