I inserted a new 500hdd on my mac and tried to install a mac os but it showed me that there is a S.M.A.R.T error, the hdd has hardware problems that can't be repaired. Please how can I fix this? Thanks

Hate to be the one to break it to you but your HDD might be gone bro!
slave it to another PC and try a running the disk check utility

Connect it as an external HDD then run diagnostic tests on it.
I would backup anything on it if possible because that warning means the HDD is about to fail....or already has

Chances are quite slim
