Is this for a WD 80GB SE (8MB cache model)? I've seen a few die prematurely not long ago. I would start backing up your important data.

Run the manufacturer's diagnostics on the drive.

WD's diognostics says it's fine, while hard drive inspector has an exact date on which my HD will die...........I don't belive that

No kidding - Photobucket appears to be down so I can't look at your pic again right now, but as I remember, it essentially said the drive was 100% used up? Something is not right here.

Get a second opinion from another program. Everest has a SMART drive function in it.

If the diagnostic software from the drive manufacture says it is ok, I would go with it.. But do what was mentioned try another program.
