My exernal hdd is showing some files as corrupt. How do i know for sure that my hdd is dying. Or may be just a software issue?

Check your HDD with CrystalDiskInfo and check for relocated sector count. Post a screenshot and more details about the HDD too. And how do you come to know that those files are corrupt?

When i try to use the files, smthin or the other error shows. Also, windows is showing check ur drive for errors frequently, like every few days.

So, do check the driver for error. And read those errors, dont ignore then.
