Try the right-click initialize idea, then after done with initialization, then partition and format.  Once that is complete, try checkdisk and/or scandisk.  Preferrably both.

You probably just need to make new partition and format it.

you'll need to initialise the disk it seems, it doesn't have any formating or usable file system, ergo nothing can use it without an apriate file system (whether that is VMFS, NTFS, EXT4 etc)

never mind it looks pretty dead, those relocated sectors could be nothing though, usually it means the drive it toast or had an accident.

You can't fix bad sectors if they're actually damaged, the system has flagged them for a reason, the drive looks irreparable, definitely beyond economical repair.

crc issues are caused by read errors usually caused by damaged sata port or sata cable.

Ports and cables are just two on the LONG list of potential causes.  Personal computers receive CRC error messages when they are reading files and detect corrupt data. Bad hard drive sectors, scratched or dirty external media, loose wiring inside the computer and faulty external drives or buggy software are all potential causes. Troubleshooting procedures to isolate the cause of the errors include cleaning the DVD, reloading, downloading or updating software programs, performing hardware diagnostic tests and possibly replacing external drives.

You can't fix this, best to dump the drive. Any data you write to it is going to vanish in the near future.
