[Ti] SmartReporter says my drive my fail soon?

[Robert Nicholson]

The instructions to SMART Reporter tell you to launch Disk Utilitiy 
click on the drive and not the partition and it will tell you what the 
SMART status is on the last line in the 2nd colum. In my case it was 
reporting "Failing" in red lettering.

Now of course it's all green in SMART Reporter and SMART Status in D.U. 
is Verified.
