Seeing that we are on the Smartd and failing HD topic. My semi-new Vostro 1700 is reporting the following: Note the weird values for: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 024 Pre-fail Always - 8589934592000 ... 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 280440922701826 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 68338629017603 Must I be concerned?
