Seagate drive about to fail

windows say my 2 tb drive i faling
then i run seagate DST and it fail saying

Unfortunately, your Seagate product has failed an important diagnostic test, possibly caused by problem sectors which are difficult to read. Seagate recommends that you run SeaTools for DOS,

I downloaded the dos tool and it cant find my drive have run en IDE mode and ACHI and it don't show.

Do the tool on this site mark the bad sector making the drive usebel agin ?

or is there a way to get seatool to see my drive in dos ?
