Is it anything serious?

Maybe you should start thinking about buying a new hard disc?

0. First, take a deep breath and relax!

1. Next, just because a piece of hardware is 6 months old doesn't mean
that things can't malfunction or get faulty.

2. Since its just 6 months, the laptop should be covered under
warranty and if the HDD fails, you should be able to get it replaced.

3. A few bad sectors doesn't not mean a HDD going bad, however there
is an increase in the number of bad sectors. It might be a cause of
concern

4. Typically, reallocated sectors can lead to such errors being
reported. You might like to read up this
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498115. That link has
enough hints and tips for you to figure out.

5. If you wish to learn more about S.M.A.R.T, then read up

Got free time now to concentrate on that SMART error now. Will read
through the links you provided.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am also attaching another screenshot-smart.png of the "relocated
sector count". I am still to go through the above links properly.

Regards,
Aveek.
