Hey there, ajmalzahir2!

I'd back what @nukemaster mentioned and replace the drive as soon as possible. There's no point in transferring the data from one partition to the other, if the drive is going to fail altogether with so many bad sectors. Instead, I'd recommend you to copy as many of your files as you can onto another storage device or cloud storage services. Otherwise, you'd most probably lose it all.
Unfortunately, bad sectors are something that cannot be fixed or repaired (when they are 395000) and the data stored on those sectors is corrupted as well, so that's why I'm not sure how you'd be able to transfer it all.

Good luck! Hope this helps.

If you have ANY reallocated sectors the drive is starting to fail. It could last days or years. 395000 is LOTS or bad sectors so I would say you do NOT have lots of time left.

How many are pending?

Get your files backed up and be ready to replace that drive.

I sure hope you made your recovery media because you will need it to reinstall Windows after. This reinstall will remove everything so make sure you get what you want off the system.

If the drive is stable enough, you may be able to clone it. It is more easy to do this from a desktop system, but USB -> SATA(or IDE if the system is old) will allow this to be done on a notebook too. USB is slowwww so it will take time for sure.
