There should be a setting in the BIOS to disable it.
However, disabling SMART warning will not make the problem go away if the SMART is warning you of an impending failure.

NO!
The only thing you will accomplish is to out SMART yourself. Are you prepared for HDD failure/Lost data?
There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

Their both right. Backup everything you have to external sources (dvd,usb hd or skydrive) because that drive is going to fail. Maybe not today or next week but soon.

I will pipe in here to echo the above statements. SMART isn't always right but it isn't to be ignored.
I suggest you first backup your personal files, then create the restore disks, if you haven't previously done that. Then run a drive fitness utility from the hard drive manufacturer.
You will need to do that before the manufacturer will issue your an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).
