I think many people know the solution, but it is only simple if terminal is available.

Try to get into terminal again, if not then you must consult some expert near you.

I think there is a warning that you could brick your drive if you do something wrong.

@grado (and others)

the fact that a drive has certain symptoms, doesn't mean that the med to be used is the same in any case. What do you want to do now ?
