Dual Boot – Disk is Likely to Fail Soon – Failing Now

18.04diskdual-boottemperaturewindows 10

I have a dual boot of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. Recently I upgraded it to 18.04. As soon as I did it, it started showing DISK IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON (37° C / 99° F).

I checked the status of my disk via Windows and it shows it’s perfectly healthy. I assumed the error occurred because my partition size of Ubuntu was 64GB (which I now increased to 86GB). Please help me out with this.

As smartctl output suggests you have "16600" reallocated sectors on your disk, which is really high for the number of bad sectors on a disk.

Reallocated_sctor_ct is a Pre-fail property and its threshold for your device is "30" however your device status indicates a really bad number: "1".

It may not fail right away (or might) however you will definitely lose a lot of data if you keep using it.

Take a backup as soon as it's possible for you, and take the device to warranty if it has any.
