You can correct the problem by quickly backing up all your important
information to a secure, off-drive site. Then you can sit back and wait for
the drive to fail - OR - you can replace the drive now.

I have personally never seen one of those messages (I have seen 10-15 on
various computers) where the drive didn't quickly fail.
