Hi there Tauqir_1,

There could be something wrong with your HDD. I/O error indicates input/output error.

You can start with just backing up the important data stored on the drive.
After that, you can attach the drive with different cables to a different SATA port. If the issue persists, you can check its health status out.
Use some of these: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
It would be nice if you provide a screen of the SMART report.
