pata hard disk I/O error in 2 sectors

0

after deleting all partitions and creating one fat32 partition, I got this error in the terminal and then I ran GSmartControl and got a report. and also the chkdsk gave me an error An error occurred while reading file allocation table (FAT 1) .

now I want to know if the hard disk is repairable or not?

All of those errors say the same thing. You have a dead sector at 784 and there is nothing the drive can do about it.

The drive might have been able to do something about that sector had there not been this line in your SMART status:

  5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   117   117   140    Pre-fail  Always   FAILING_NOW 661

It might have been able to reallocate that sector and carry on, but that drive went past that point of being able to do that quite some time ago.

All the other SMART status messages indicate a drive that is, if not already dead, is something you do not want to store any data you care about on.

Given that the drive is $21 from newegg I wouldn't consider this drive worth the effort.
