HDD read failure - how to solve?

September 29th, 2023, 20:51

For a week, I didn't use computer for some reason it was giving me error and not login to windows, so then I try to reinstall windows but unable to for some reason, so I use HirenBoot to diagnose the issue.
I use GSmartControl Extended test to know the problem.
Below I have attached a file of GSmartControl Repot.



Please help me out to get it back Running, and please don't recommend buying a new HDD I can't.

Code:
5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct      PO--CK      199      199      140        -        47
196 Reallocated_Event_Count -O--CK      185      185      000        -        15
197 Current_Pending_Sector    -O--CK      200      200      000        -        19
198 Offline_Uncorrectable      ----CK      200      200      000        -        12


This disk is dead and done. The last three disks I replaced for friends' laptops etc. when broken it was always WD Blue.
That's the reason Windows install fails. If you try it again, these numbers will climb up.
Sorry for bad news. :(
