You need to clone that drive to a good drive using Dos based tools...like media tools pro or similar.

It sounds like your drive has numerous bad sectors. The safest approach is to clone your drive sector-by-sector using a tool (eg ddrescue) that knows how to work around bad sectors, and then use data recovery software on the clone.

Ddrescue can perform multipass cloning. It clones the easy sectors on the first pass, and attempts the more difficult ones on subsequent passes. It can also clone your drive in reverse, thereby disabling lookahead caching. It keeps a log, allowing it to resume after an interruption.

Smart error means something is not working well on the drive, so it may be damaged.
Resetting smart status is not the solution, since the problem would still be present.
It's like if you take off a road sign that warns you of a hazard (such as a road interrupted), removing the signal does not solve the problem of road interruption.

My suggestion it's to check the smart status with MHDD and try to do a sector scan.
If for example you see a lot of reallocated sectors, you should replace the drive.

If you just wanna disable the smart error alert, go into the computer bios and disable it.
