How can I fix my HDD error?

[hack3rcon]

Hello.
I have an Old system with 80GB HDD but my OS can't boot and I want to use Live Grub Disk for fix my HDD.
I used "fsck -yvf /dev/sda" and "sudo badblocks -b 512 /dev/sda" but it take many times and not show any result.
Any idea?
I attached two files that you can see my system logs.

Please tell me that you cloned the drive first and you are working with the clone, right? The first step should have been to use ddrescue to clone the drive as follows (assuming that the bad drive is /dev/sda and destination drive is /dev/sdb):

ddrescue /dev/sda /dev/sdb logfile

If you cannot get a clone of the drive, you will need to consider sending to a data recovery pro.

Need more advanced diagnostic. Look into MHDD.

No, I never clone it and "/dev/sdb" is my Cool disk.

In your idea, Can clone help me?

you want to recover the data, or just reuse the drive ?

I kind of figured that you would modify the destination drive to that which you are cloning to. I'm thinking that you should just send the drive to a data recovery pro.

As I said, Operating System can't boot and I just want fix it. I hope that not need any forensic :/

if there is no important data on it, just replace it.

buying 80GB Drive will not be expensive instead of wasting time Repairing it you can have another one

Run smartctl (from smartmontools) against the drive. That will produce a SMART report.

I have useful data on it :/

I did :

user@debian:~$ sudo ntfsfix -b -d /dev/sda1
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
Going to un-mark the bad clusters ($BadClus)... No bad clusters...OK
NTFS partition /dev/sda1 was processed successfully.
user@debian:~$

But Problem not solved

Another problem is I can't reinstall Windows OS or boot via Linux Distro. I just can boot via small Distro like Gparted.

The problem is that OS can't boot and I can't mount my partitions and I have important data on them.

well if your OS can't boot, you can try disk on different computer.

BTW, you haven't provide any useful information so someone can point you to right direction.

good start would be ;

1. drive is spinning or not ?
2. does it make abnormal noise, click click etc?
3. If drive spins normal without any abnormal sound, bios can see hard disk with correct capacity ?
4. can you provide s.m.a.r.t report as asked by "fzabkar"

[hack3rcon]

HDD is Normal and BIOs can see it.
The problem is that "ntfsfix" and....Can't repair the disk.
I will post "smart" test.

Technically, the OS not booting is a symptom, not a problem. The problem is something else, e.g. drive damage of some sort, file system corruption, etc.
We won't know unless we test things. The most obvious thing to do is to start with testing the hardware, namely the drive.
If you just want data access, assuming the drive is healthy, then you can install some file recovery software on another machine, connect this drive as a secondary drive and run the software on it and retrieve your critical files. If equipment is not available and/or this is confusing, taking it to a specialist should sort things out for you. Careful consideration of the level of expertise of the service provider you are choosing is necessary typically.
