how to fix spin retry error on Seagate HDD

[NDDU Julius BSIT]

need help. I currently have 3 HDDs... 2 Seagate Barracuda (160 GB and 500 GB) and a Samsung HD161J (160GB). both of the 160 GB hard disks are acting weird. The Samsung emits a very load buzzing noise and the Seagate has that large value of "Spin Retry Count" according to CrystalDiskInfo. Since I can't boot up on the Seagate, I am using the Samsung which performs badly in terms of gaming. Is there a way to fix the Spin retry count of my HDD?

Those drives are old and failing. You don't fix them, you replace them.

Fridge magnet donors.
Copy the data off and replace.

very load buzzing noise and the Seagate has that large value of "Spin Retry Count"-----failure of the motor that spins the drive. if it works at all right now backup your important data. most likely its already completely useless though.

I formatted the Seagate. It had no important files anyways
