Good evening.as i was working on my pc, windows pop-up a message which said: ''Windows detected a problem with your hard drive'' It also said that i had to do backup and to replace my hard drive immediately. I installed hd sentinel and diagnostic tool from WD so i attach images to tell me your opinions.Thanks in advance

Hi you need to find out if the drive is in warranty. If you go here and click warranty check it will tell you.  http://support.wdc.com/warranty/index_end.asp?lang=en . If the drive is still under warranty then click the Product replacement  RMA link and follow that through to RMA your drive. If you want to make sure it is a warranty replaceable hard drive with those errors please contact WD support  from this link  http://support.wdc.com/contact/index.asp?lang=en
