So, this has been a nightmare for about two weeks now. Computer just crashed randomly, couldn't even boot. Was told "WARNING: Please back-up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent and cause unpredictable fail." It set my SSD to read only through SMART and I couldn't do anything. I made a new install of windows and have been struggling with data recovery when windows popped up with a message about "Your drive needs to be repaired." I opened the notification, and it brought me to Disks & Volumes, scrolling to my old SSD it says "Warning: Issues Detected" but only for the FAT32 EFI partition, which claims "Full repair needed" while my Data partition and recovery partition are listed as "Healthy"
SO I followed a guide on how to repair the EFI bootloader, now I'm wondering if my drive isn't about to die? It says it's an issue about my "Available Spare" being 0% but maybe that's fixable? I got into my windows recovery and followed this guide until it got to "bootrec /FixBoot" where it then said "ACCESS DENIED" Now I'm so confused, how do I get around this "Read Only" SMART stuff? Is my drive REALLY failing? It's reporting 96% remaining life, and I've had it under 8 months.
In addition, through this menu in settings, I was able to mount the drive but can't access my "User" profile, since it says I don't have permission, and when I try to inherit permission, it says it's failed because the device is in Read Only. How am I supposed to backup my stuff if it's in read only?? Sorry, this has just been so frustrating, and now the hope of being able to just get my drive back up and running has gotten my hopes up.

Thanks for any help you can give.
