HDD Problem(?)

[Mehzaa]

When i turned on my pc,my HDD started to make a strange whirring sound as it booted up. But then it stopped once I've gotten to the log-in screen. I decided to see what happened via Crystaldiskinfo and saw this:

 

Is there something I can do to fix this? Should I worry about a sudden data loss?

This isn't fixable, no. This means there are sectors waiting for reallocation. It's taking a bad sector and replacing it with a spare one. Once this process starts, more sectors will follow and the drive will eventually fail. 

 

I personally wouldn't use the drive for critical data anymore and replace it. It's still fine for stuff that's completely unimportant.

ah hell,that doesn't sound to good. Can I at least slow this process or at least make it stop for a little time,since I do not have time nor the budget to buy a new HDD?

The speed of the process depends entirely on your particular drive. It can take a month before it fails, 5 years, or even a week. Nobody knows.

 

The only thing to slow the process is to not use it.

well isn't that wonderful to know..

 

either way,do you know an app or something that I can store my important data since I do not have any other things to store my data? (outside of my 240gb ssd which only has 70 or so gb left of free storage)
