  3. First thing first. S.M.A.R.T. (what I personally call "D.U.M.B.[1]) is a failed attempt at pre-cognitive technology that invariably delivers almost - but not quite - entirely unlike reliable info. The way the S.M.A.R.T. data is recorded (in non-standard ways) and the way it is interpreted (in non-standard ways) by largely un- or mis-documented non-standard tools on non-standard (and completely undocumented) devices are simply appalling, and how they are presented to the final user it is - if possible at all - even worse: https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:smart_hdd_diagnostics The ONLY (and only partially) meaningful S.M.A.R.T. parameters that may predict an imminent failure are reporterdly: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/what-smart-stats-indicate-hard-drive-failures/ 5, 187,188,197,198 and - possibly - 189. They are all just fine on your disk drive. Solution 1: Flip a coin. If it comes out head, YES, you should change the device as soon as possible, if it comes out tails, NO, your device is just fine. (the above test, on average, has the same accuracy than a S.M.A.R.T. diagnosis) Repeat the test every 6 to 12 months. Compare with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipism Solution 2: Make sure you have a recent, reliable backup of data. Make sure you have a second copy of the above backup, on a different media and possibly kept in a separate location. Keep maintaining the two copies of backup. Live a happy and long life, without worries about the device failing. When the SSHD device will fail, it will fail [2], just get a new one and restore from the backup. jaclaz [1] Definitely Unreliable Measurement Bull§hit [2] ... and it will fail without any warning, and surely not a warning coming from S.M.A.R.T. data, or it will simply continue to buzz along happily until you will have changed the whole computer ...

  5. Win2k/me/98 uses internet explorer components for skinning. Windows xp doesn't do so rather it uses uxtheme and windows explorer.nt4.0 uses a bare minimum ui components depended on explorer.exe
