Crystal Disk Info shows Caution [5] Reallocated sectors count: 449

Current: 90
Worst: 90
Threshold: 36
Raw: 0000000001C1

PC has been slow very slow since yesterday. Is there anything that can be done to fix the reallocated sectors count.

Thanks!
 
Solution
Only get a new HDD. Relocated sectors are what happens when parts of the drive become unreadable and the drive has to start using other sectors to make up for that.

Is there any other temporary solution? Can I repartition in a way that the HDD does not use those bad sectors? If its possible how can I do that?
 
The number of bad sectors will increase as sure as night follows day, so your data is at risk.
There is no "sticking plaster" solution for a failing hard drive. You've been advised what you should do. It's the only advice any one will give you if they know anything about hard drives.
