I have Dell's xps 8300 and when I run Dell's test it says it cannot test the smart feature. A person showed me a site where it indicated I have smart and it is running. I have an attachment that shows the test. Why can smart not betested and whee can I find it?

I would like to answer my own post as I found the answer and in case someone else can benefit from it. Dell upgraded its diagnostic program and when it did and I ran it, SMART appeared and ran successfully. It is a feature that supposedly alerts one to a failing hard drive.
