    The softwares i listed are official software
    First connect the HDD and then check with any one of these tools

    1)Seagate SeaTools
    2)Hitachi Drive Fitness Test
    3)Microsoft Windows Built-In Error Checking
    4)Samsung HUTIL
    5)Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic
    6)Fujitsu Diagnostic Tool,
    7)Bart's Stuff Test

    If your hard disk is showing any
    problem or showing less space.
    Then format the hard disk.

    Ok your hard disk's health status is 58% and there are some errors too.is your Hdd new or how old is it? my hdd is of Hitachi and its 3 1/2 years old still its working fine but the health status is 60%. If your hdd is new then take it to the service center and also show them this screen shot.may be they can help correcting if needed
