Hello.

"Imminent Hard Disk Failure" => "Imminent Hard Disk Failure"

The hard drive is about to give up the ghost.

Do not wait, back up or copy your personal data (photos, videos, music, Excel, Word, PowerPoint files, etc.) to an external hard drive.

Better yet, make a complete image of your disk.
At least then, everything will be saved (data and system).

And since you confessed that you are not a "Pro,"
entrust your PC to a specialized repair shop.

IMPORTANT: If you were unable to create backups or images, specify in writing on the service form that the contents of the disk need to be backed up.

I changed my hard drive! It works, finally almost now when I install Windows I have:
Error:
Installation Failed: d:\i386\asms. Error Message: Incorrect parameter.

***
Fatal error:
One of the components required by Windows to continue the installation program has not been installed.

I saw that I had to remove a RAM stick, I took it out '' there was only one " I had others I tested, it was not compatible!
I put the first one back and Problem: My computer beeps at startup --' The BIOS does not load,
Thank you for your help! :)

Okay, if I do this my hard drive will work normally?

The problem is that I deleted the partition, so I need to install Windows XP Pro and I'm getting the following error (not with the hard drive that doesn't work but another one):
Installation Failed: d:\i386\asms. Error Message: Incorrect parameter.

***
Unrecoverable error:
One of the components needed for Windows to continue the installation program has not been installed.

Problem with the DVD player. It requires a lot of patience to trace the source of this issue.

xExtremeFuzionx · Answer

Ah, I have patience, that's for sure... Thanks for your reply; I thought it was the RAM stick... So a bad connection, should I put in another drive? What should I do?

xExtremeFuzionx · Answer

But I didn't tell you... When I turn on my PC, it beeps at startup and it's impossible to turn it on. Do you know how to solve this?

Simply to respond to Aurél05's "comment" - August 27, 2012 at 10:56 PM: "translated like this Imminent Hard Drive Problem. --> the Smaart system is acting up

Oh yes, well, so, if you have a high temperature alarm or low oil pressure in your car, your first reflex is to say "no problem, it's the sensor that's acting up".

And you advise to block this alert, and continue using this PC as if nothing had happened.

Well, allow me to disagree with this way of managing malfunctions.

Ok, and what should I do?

xExtremeFuzionx · Answer

Half the problem is solved, but I still have a problem! :/
I changed the PC, it turns on which is good.. except there must be a problem with the graphics card, there are lots of vertical white and black lines?

xExtremeFuzionx · Answer

Problem solved, my graphics card is dead.. Bye thanks for the answers!
