Shortly after I installed Tiger on my iBook and launched Disk Utility 
for the first time, it showed in red "impending hard drive failure" in 
the "S.M.A.R.T Status".
I contacted Apple and with no further diagnostics he said he would send 
a box out for repair under my extended warranty. The drive was working 
normally and I had no other indication of failure including DW repair 
and Disk Utility under Panther (which does not have the S.M.A.R.T 
capability)
