( first plz don't ask about the spilling mistakes because i am writing fast and english isn't my 1st language )

so i build a pc at October and i bought a 500gb HDD from newegg and a SSD . After i build it and downloaded all the drivers and programmes and game i realized that 500 gig is not enough for the stuff i need . So i decided to buy another one . but soon i remmembered having an old laptop in my basement that has another 500 gig HDD . so i went and grabed it from the old laptop and i placed inside my pc and i connected the sata cable and sata power , and i tured on the pc . the pc didn't reconize it in the first 2 minutes after turning it on . but later it did . i felt confused so i downloaded crystal disk info and crystal disk mark to check if there is a problem . Later i got the results . a "reallocated sector count warning " showed up . so i searched the network to find what that mean . after alot of searching i had something to try . Which was the chkdsk command in the cmd . i ran that test multiple times but it always failed . so i ignored the "reallocated sector count warning " and i downloaded about 25 gigs of videos to test the HDD by my self . it copied 10 gigs from my 500gig HDD which i bought from newegg to the old HDD , and then it said the the processes failed . so i tried making 2 partitions on the HDD through disk managment and i was able to make 2 partitions ( as i hoped the bad sectors will be on any of these partitions so that i can atleast use the other partition ) so i tried this theory on bit the partitions but it failed . so i tried downloading a software called stellar smart drive monitor , but for whatever reason it refused to download . so as a last thing i used crystal disk mark and set it to 64 gigs for 9 loops . and now i am waiting for 2 hours with no results what so ever!!!

i hope to get any help on how to repair this piece of sh*t .

thx for spending time to answer my question .

Usually when a hard drive starts showing reallocated sectors that indicates it's starting to show signs of failure. This, combined with your file copy tests failing after X amount of data copied points to signs of that particular drive failing. While you certainly can try chkdsk and other software level drive repair utilities, eventually a drive will degrade so much on a hardware level that no software repairs will do anything. Sounds like the drive from your laptop is on its' last legs, so best to not use it and instead get another drive to store your data on.
