Hi, My laptop has a WD 1TB HDD and is around 3 years old. Recently ( since 4-5 months) I am experiencing frequent BSODs with error code related to hardware fault. Hence i decided to do a S.M.A.R.T Diagnosis.
I have a dual boot configuration of Ubuntu 20 and Windows 10, These are the partitions
I ran a S.M.A.R.T Diagnosis from Ubuntu using
The S.M.A.R.T seems to be failing whenever i do it using CMD, however it worked one time when i tried short test from the inbuilt Disk App in Ubuntu. But failed again when i tried an extender diagnosis from the Disk App.
From the LBA i figured theres an error in block 88320, and from the disk partitions i attached above it looks like the error is in dev/sda1 which is an EFI System.
So i ran badblocks on dev/sda1 and found 4 bad blocks
However these block numbers are different from that shown during SMART LBA. I have no idea how bad my disk is right now, I did these steps through articles online, and not sure what to make out of all these test results.
If someone has an idea how to repair this, please help
Thanks in advance!!

The S.M.A.R.T seems to be failing whenever i do it using CMD, however it worked one time when i tried short test from the inbuilt Disk App in Ubuntu. But failed again when i tried an extender diagnosis from the Disk App.
From the LBA i figured theres an error in block 88320, and from the disk partitions i attached above it looks like the error is in dev/sda1 which is an EFI System.
So i ran badblocks on dev/sda1 and found 4 bad blocks
