Good day
After several sessions of hibernation of HP ProBook 4520s (Win7_32) and subsequent exits, several of them were not successful, the hard in it TOSHIBA MK3256GSY (320GB) began to behave strangely. it constantly cracks, as if the head is rushing around the disk, like a crazy one from end to end, it became inconvenient to say the least, everything is done with some pauses and delays, accompanied by hard cracking when the head is repositioned, a similar situation began to appear under Ubuntu 11.04, the same delays, lags and crackling. despite the fact that other utilities for defragmenting, checking and analyzing the disk, including system ones, showed that the disk is operational and everything is supposedly normal with it. I ran SMART, got the following results:

A very large number of Realloc ... but this cannot lead to such frequent freezes and delays in work. Therefore, the question is what to do, how and with what to treat, and is there any point in this?

I sincerely hope that you have made full backups and updated them! It saves a lot of time and nerves, but according to custom (by itself ...) thunder will not strike, the man will not cross himself ... :(. After backups, as it was correctly suggested above ... All possible tests. Hitachi has its own diagnostic utilities, but Victoria will not be superfluous .

If I were you, I would download hiren's boot, start from it and try MHDD first.

"...does it make sense?"
There definitely is. Especially when there are resources available. As for Victoria, they write correctly - he himself was saved by her more than once.

also pay attention to parameter 187 , which is in critical condition on the screenshot. Realocated event count is already reassigned sectors, and 187 is the total number of sector read errors. theoretically, of course, values \u200b\u200bfrom the same, non-unique sectors can get there, but it seems that there is a total number of sectors that could not be correctly counted. experience suggests that it will be problematic to operate such a screw in the future. the number is growing, and the screw in the process of reading the record freezes often tightly hanging the computer.
Try victoria/MHDD to walk, victoria is even win32. if the sectors are not remapped, you can try HDD Regenerator (I had with Samsung that Victoria and MHDD could not fix the sector, but the regenerator did it), the only thing is that it works many times slower, so it’s better to start with a known offset to reduce the time spent .
Well, if the troubles continue to grow, then such a screw is in the furnace. By the way, I had exactly the same case with the beech HP and the screw seems to be Toshiba. As a result, it was decided only by replacing the screw. The OS on the old screw could boot up to 2 hours.

The disk has problems with micromechanics, it will not stop sticking. It needs to be changed, there is nothing to restore there.

It makes no sense to treat, since there are no ways to cure such a screw, change it under warranty for a new one and don't worry.

Thank you all for your advice! The screw was replaced with a WD 320Gb Blue 5400. There is a significant loss in performance when accessing the hard drive, sorry))
Will it help, by the way, if you simply do not create partitions in the damaged sectors, because then they simply will not be accessed?
