I'm doing that now.
I don't suppose there's any idea approx how long it takes for a real problem
to occur?

Hi,

I agree with Bob that I think you should backup the important data to
avoid
any potential loss

It's the drive S.M.A.R.T. system informing you that trouble is heading
your way. Use the drive manufacturers diagnostic software. Get it from
their website.

On boot up, I'm getting a Text Warning Message (while still in the DOS
environment) that says my Harddrive may fail. It says to backup my
date on
my slave drive due to failure that may happen. Then I have to press
F1
to
continue and boot.

So I ran Norton Disk Doctor that found nothing. I've defraged
everything
with no issues.
How do I know that this message is correct?
What do I do?
