I have a laptop which I got 1 1/2 years ago and a week ago I had a s.m.a.r.t. failure which I think the hard drive was failing for some reason. And I was wondering why a hard drive fails besides getting a virus, because my laptop was still pretty new and I know I didn't get a virus. I got a new hard drive and I lost everything though I had time to back some stuff up but it cost me a bundle.
Can someone help me out so I can try to prevent another crash?
Thanks
