My hp pavilion g6 laptop (2005ax) started performing sluggishly in the last few months. Video and audio play back didn run smoothly, opening and closing files took more time than the usual, etc. At first i culdnt recognise the problem. Then a little research on the internet suggested that i shld check my hard disk. So after running the "extensive" hard disk check from the bios menu, this was the resut :
====================================
SMART Check : PASSED
Long DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : OLN77D-65H76T-MFPX1G-61F603
PRODUCT ID : B3J8OPA#ACJ
Hard Drive 1
===================================
What does this mean? Do i have to replace my hard drive or is there a way to fix it? Also, is there a possibility that the test results are wrong?
Other than slugiish performance, there is no other probelm yet (like blue screen and all).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
