I have 2 disks in my PC, an SSD with my linux system on it and a HDD with windows and some other stuff. Now I keep getting the following error, which appeared overnight without changing the system, when I'm trying to mount my HDD, after authentication.

authentication screen of the HDD when trying to mount it

[authentication screen of the HDD when trying to mount it]

An error occurred while accessing 'Basic data partition', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken

Output of /proc/partitions before trying to mount it:

ata2: softreset failed (device not ready)
ata2: softreset failed (device not ready)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
ata2: softreset failed (device not ready)
ata2: limiting SATA link speed to 3.0 Gbps
ata2: softreset failed (device not ready)
ata2: reset failed, giving up

blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 468992 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 4 prio class 0
blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 468992 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

and smartctl not being able to run.

Looks like your hard drive is dead.
