Default hard drive may be failing

I built my own pc a little while back. Everything was going good but it started going downhill when my pc would get so slow it would take forever to open up anything and the activity light would stay on constantly. Now when I turn my pc on, I get a message about a hard drive problem and it asks me if I want to back everything up. Right now everything is working fine.

Does this mean my hard drive is failing? Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I just wait until it fails? Luckily I have 2 hard drives and all of my information is on the second hard drive. The hard drive that is having problems has windows installed.
