Boot a live usb session and open a terminal. Provide drive's health this way, copy paste last command into terminal:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install smartmontools
for disk in $(ls /sys/block | grep ^sd); do sudo smartctl -s on -iHA --log=error -f brief -q noserial /dev/$disk; done
Only provide last command output.

i got this i think i have to specify device but gparted has not detected my hardrive but somehow i managed to get a working pc in which i installed my hardrive but i did the same and after that firstly i booted pc without hardrive and plugged it when pc was fully booted the pc detected it and i rescued my data
but the problem is still there
i am wondering if some part of my hardrive is corrupt how can i figure out
