Reply: (edit)S.M.A.R.T. = Acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard for developing disk drives and software systems that automatically monitor a disk drive's health and report potential problems. Ideally, this should allow you to take proactive actions to prevent impending disk crashes. (Above from webopedia) I suspect that you're having some type of problem with that drive. I recommend you go to the OEM web site and download any analysis/diagnosis tools available and run them on the drive. Likely it's going bad and will require replacement.
