ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sdc[Input/output error]

I removed my /dev/sdc disk a while back due to the disk being corrupted. Now when I run os-prober or grub-mkconfig I get the following message (os-prober) https://bpa.st/HP2HW  and (grub-mkconfig) https://bpa.st/F5F7A . I'm not sure what file I need to edit to remove /dev/sdc from my system. The output of my disk is listed in the following link: https://bpa.st/VEJEU

Is /dev/sdc still listed in your /etc/fstab?

Re: ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sdc[Input/output error]

sdc identifiers and friends are randomly assigned, likely some other device has taken the place of your former c and is generating the issues. Did you check the actual path/with fdisk -l or so which device that is now?

Re: ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sdc[Input/output error]

I'm not sure what you're asking and i'm not sure if this is the right command to run, but when I run fdisk -l /dev/sdc I get the following message

fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: Input/output error

Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sdd1@/efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

Since d comes after c, something™ will be on sdc.

Thanks Seth. I'll take a look at smart.

I ran the smart tests and I got the following results

 smartctl -H /dev/sda  === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED 

   smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

  smartctl -a /dev/sda

Why do we care about sda? The problem-drive is sdc.

Re: ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sdc[Input/output error]

When I run

 smartctl -t long /dev/sdc 

I get the following error message:

 Read SMART Data failed: scsi error badly formed scsi parameters

Re: ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sdc[Input/output error]

And also an error in dmesg?
(You can "dmesg -w" to track the ringbuffer, then call smartctl in a different terminal)
Sounds like the drive is toast, though.
