    Hello to everybody! I have an old HP Pavilion with a Hitachi SATA 1.5 drive. I attach here the SMART report from HDDscan.
    Is it possible somehow to fix these errors? Thanks in advance...

    The solution is to replace the drive. Backup what you want from the drive. The SMART report means that the drive is dying. There is software available that claims to fix hard drives, but in reality they don't work. Buy a new hard drive, and clone and clone your old one to it. Replace it with the new one.

    Your drive probably needs recovery and replacement. Do not try any other report on that. As your problem is technical call them for hard drive recovery.

    Spinrite will not fix your drive, it can be dead after running it for a while. Make backup first then do experiment.
