Do I need a new exteranal HD?

I get the massage that the back up HD can't be repaired. It says that I can still use the HD but I can't make changes to the files and that I should reformat. I thought I went through this process with the disc utility but I'm not sure that I did it correctly because I'm getting the same message. Help!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 3.06 GHz Intel

If this doesnt work, you probably are experiencing a HDD failure.
