Back up problems
Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem
when I turn on my laptop it appears this notice on the screen:
"SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk 0: Samsung ecc.
Warning: Immediatly back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.
Please press f1 to continue"
I press f1, but the machine says that can not found any OS
How can I do to do the back up of my files?
No Events found!

It may now be too late to recover data, but to try:
Remove the hard drive and mount it in a 2.5" external USB case. Attach to a working system and see what you can still read. You may be able to recover some or all of your data before the drive fails completely.
If you cannot recover what you'll need, you'll then need to consider the cost of data recovery (minimum of a few hundred dollars). If so, Gillware (www.gillware.com) is recommended as reliable and reasonable in cost (several hundred vs. $1,000+ for most others).
