You need a new drive, return that one and get a NEW one.

You can make the SEADOS boot media and boot in it and run the tools from there.

Once a hard drive has bad sectors, it should be replaced. You can wait and see if it develops any more, but rarely have a I seen a hard drive not keep developing bad sectors once it has started.

The fix is to return it to who you go t it from and get a new drive. There is no "fix" for a drive that is getting issues. I only see drives like that get worse over time, never better, till they fully fail.

Do you like your data or do you not care if the drive fails on you? If you have another drive for backups, use this one till it dies and change it out then if you like.
