Hi there, mayanktripathi437.

I'd recommend that you backup all the important data you might have on that drive (e.g. photos, videos, music, movies, documents, etc.). After that go ahead and download the HDD manufacturer's diagnostic tool to test the drive and see if anything out of the ordinary pops-up - like bad sectors or errors.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

Depending on how big your drive is, the safest thing is to immediately clone it to an equal or bigger size external drive. Clonezilla is really good for pcs. :)
