Hi everyone~
After some days of formatting, partitioning and installing windows 10 (home) on a 500GB Seagate Baracuda, today a popup message of "Windows detected a hard disk problem" appeared and I'd like to know how to proceed, since I currently don't have some other hard disk or storage to store a backup.
I did some research and installed some tools: HD Tune Pro (trial) and Seatools. In defraggler there was a "Warning" in yellow about disk health before I partioned my HDD, but no windows hard disk problems message or startup warning (from BIOS, I guess) about imminent disk failures. For now, I didn't notice any slowdowns or difficulty with data transfers/downloads.
I ran those tools and got a "pass" with Seatools and 0% damaged blocks in HD Tune (everything was green on error scan). In the latter, however, in Health tab theres 2 redded things and one light-blue-ish (respectively):
(05) Reallocated Sector Count 36 36 36 2639 failed
(C4) Reallocated Event Count 36 36 36 2639 failed
(C7) Interface CRC Error Count 200 200 0 2 attention
What can I do for now? Can I ignore that windows warning? It keeps showing up btw. I didn't do any physical harm (drops, kicks, etc) to my desktop, but I should note it's a pretty old system (bought in 2008 or 2009). Thanks in advance (and as a non-native english speaker, sorry if I wasn't clear enough).

Also tried chkdsk on command prompt and no errors were found.
and my system, if it's of any use:
Intel C2Q Q8300
Ati Radeon HD 4350
2x2GB DDR2 RAM
Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm HDD
Currently on Windows 10 Home 64-bits (came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits)
