SMART/Drive Health warning

I am seeing a message occur on an XPe system with a new set of (400 GB)
hard drives.
The message is an alert box with the following message:

Title: Drive Health Warning!
Message: The Hard Disk [Model] s/n [Serial number] had a non-typical
SMART attribute value fail. No immediate action is required. We
recommend you to continue disk monitoring with Drive Health tool.

Now, whether or not the drive has a SMART failure (which in this case,
no attributes are past the thresholds), but where does this warning
come from? What component includes this? No third-party drive
monitoring programs or drive health utilities have been installed.

Thanks
Kris
 
Hi K. Does this message appear within the XPe runtime? Or does it show up
on your screen while you're booting the system? If the latter, you may be
able to turn this message off in the system CMOS, and this would be
independent of anything XPe is doing.

Yes, this is in the XPe runtime. It is a Windows alert message box.
It occurs while the system is running (and normally has been up for at
least several minutes). We do not have this text in our application
nor do we even do anything with SMART attributes -- we just use the
filesystem.
