Hello slykerz and welcome to TF
hard drive - How should I understand "Current Pending Sector Count" in CrystalDiskInfo reports? - Super User

Current pending sector count is very high - AAA hex. You should back up all important files on that drive and be prepared to replace the drive.

Read error rate is also very high - RED.
S.M.A.R.T. Attribute: Read Error Rate : S.M.A.R.T. Attribute: Read Error Rate | Knowledge Base

The drive only has 189 hours - it should still be under warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer.

Is there a way to back up files even though you can't access the files? I am able see that my disk manager detects volume on the drive, but im not sure if i would be able to copy files to another device before i format

Hello @RockieOllie,



The below is an excellent way to do this as it does NOT put any load [ well, minimal ] on the existing HDD/SSD.

 Linux Live USB / DVD:

A Linux Live USB/DVD is a good emergency method of retrieving data from an otherwise UN-bootable drive or if you are having other drive difficulties.

Basically . . .

[1] Download the Linux ISO - I always use Linux Mint although there are others available.
[2] Create a Bootable USB/DVD [ media ] using Rufus for example => Rufus.
[3] Boot the media.
[4] Copy the files, folders, videos, music, and pictures etc from the OS to an external HDD/SSD or USB.

> Download Linux Mint 20 Ulyana

I hope this helps.

Thanks I'll give this a try! If no luck I'll just have to cut my losses on the files on my external drive.

If Ubuntu is able to read the files then you're set.

If Ubuntu cannot read the files then options are:
a) third party partition recovery software: testdisk

b) professional recovery (Seagate, etc.)

If you are referring to disk 4, allocating a letter to the partition should make it visible in windows explorer, if you are able to.
