Hi there alokambar,

I would agree with BadActor and say that you really need to back up your data as soon as possible as your drive could fail at any time. It seems that it had many bad sectors on it that were reallocated.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this. In case the drive is under warranty, you can just RMA it.

Run the Command Prompt as Administrator, and then type chkdsk /f

Reboot. This might fix a simple file system error. Also check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your disk. You can use the manufacturers HDD tools also to check drive health, i.e., Seatools for a Seagate drive.
