Hi:

 

What that message is reporting is that the hard drive is about to quit working.

 

If you can still get into Windows, back up any files you don't want to lose, and then you will have to replace the hard drive and reinstall the operating system now, or when the hard drive actually dies, and you can't boot up the notebook anymore.
