If you haven't already done so I'd suggest you backup your important data. When you get a notice that your hard drive is bad there's no point in taking any chances. If you need a second opinion on the status of the drive, you could run check disk and/or SeaTools (download link and PDF instructions) or the Carrona diagnostics.
