How to stop Ubuntu 9.10 from showing hard disk failing notification?

"I'm not completely sure if you're experiencing the same kind of message that i did, but i was told that my disk has many bad sectors, so this is how i removed the warning message:

Open the Disk Utility from System > Administration > Disk Utility (or maybe a click on the warning will open it?)
Choose the disk that is failing and click the More Information link. (The link is placed to the red text that is showing you the warning)
Set a mark in the Don't warn me if the disk is failing-checkbox just above the attributes in the bottom of the window.

I sincerely hope this will solve all of your problems."

"Perhaps disabling disk checking for the partitions on that drive would stop the errors. You can simply change the pass-num field in /etc/fstab to 0 for that disk to prevent fsck from checking the specified partitions at startup. A typical fstab looks like this:

device name mount point fs-type options dump-freq pass-num
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mount/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

for each partition that resides on /dev/hda for example, change it's pass-num value to 0 to disable checking. You could disable checking on all of them for one reboot and see if that does anything."
