Reallocated Sector Count Issue on my HDD

[rovelle26]

So, i got this message that pops on my screen says my Local C drive is failing. I checked my drive
thru crystal disk and hd tune and i got this:

HD Tune
CrystalDisk

Is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Pretty much no way. Hard disk internals live a life of their own. The disk is, as windows said, Failing.
1. back up important things you must NOT lose immediately
2. avoid using said disk (in short, computer at all, usage will more than likely only make it worse)
3. get new hard disk.
4. put new disk in computer (don't keep breaking one attached)
5. Reinstall windows
6. attach old disk
7. copy what you can over to new disk.

Or you can try drive cloning/image software to copy whole old disk to new one. Problem with this is that if there is file corruption in windows files, that also transfers over.

Should i get a new drive now?

doing so before current one dies completely is a good idea. for the sole reason that copying important things over is easier than trying to retrieve them from totally dead disk. (data recovery companies can do that, you cannot and charge you a LOT for it.)
