I just reinstalled windows after I had a virus take my windowssystem32hal.dll file.

now when the install has finished I am getting a message on load up on the black screen after it checks the drives.

PRI Master Hard disk: S.M.A.R.T. status BAD, backup and replace.
press F1 to resume.

when I do...everything works fine. What must I do to get rid of that message so I don't have to press f1. The hard drive is not old 160gig.

replace the drive. SMART is self monitoring by the hard drive. it is telling you to get the data off before it croaks.
