First? Backup any mission critical data from the drive that's being flagged with said error, while you still have access to it. You can read through this too.

Moved thread from Systems section to Storage section

Use HDtune - health section.
It will show, which HDD have failed SMART parameters.

If possible, show screenshots.

There are different types of errors.
Chkdsk will show file system corruption errors.
For SMART errors you'll have to use appropriate software.
