got this message once and am now caught in the loop with the same message. i thought i could back up important files and now i have lost some that i created since my las backup - last week.

is there a way to recover these files by slaving this HDD to the new one?

about smart, please see:

I think you must backup your whole harddisk, you can use the free disk copy tool if your hard disk is IDE hard drive.
