No. The S.M.A.R.T. monitoring is coming from the hard drive which
indicates a probable mechanical (hardware) failure. To determine the
drive's physical health, download a diagnostic utility from the drive
mftr. Usually you will make a bootable floppy with it. Boot with that,
and run a thorough test. If the drive fails, it will need to be
replaced. Check with HP tech support about how to do that and reinstall
Windows.
