If your HDD( Hard Drive) got this symptoms means it can fail soon or later, it's mostly impredictable. It happens for a number of reason like random failure, shock (laptop are most likely to have this problem as you shouldn't move an HDD when it's running and changing your laptop positioning happens frequently), it can happen from overheating, not defragmenting (specialy if you're drive is full as you need to keep 10 to 20% free on all HDDs in order for them to run correctly), it's also possible from wrong shutdown, hard reset or current interruption (battery dead) as the head will not replace itself on the start point where she is protected...

HDDs are the most common failure in PC (from my personal experience i had replace 4 in 3 PC in order to keep them running)

PS: Laptop shouldn't be moved at all when they are running and please, never use a laptop on a couch or on your knee except if you use a hard and level surface (a wood plank per example) HDD will suffer from any movement and all the pc component will suffer from bad ventilation if the air entry point are blocked by something (like your knee or a coverlet)

Note: I installed on my computer HDD Regenarator 2011 and I created a USB boot in order to solve this problem and fortunately it shows 296 bad sectors with 7 hours wating time and it recovered 296 sectors but even so the Hard Drive is still in trouble. I didn't lose anything. My computer booted properly but the message is still showing and u need to backup your hardrive as soon as possible.

That's all folks!
