Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /

[yma981]

Hello

I am experiencing some weird behavior, sometimes unexpectedly and randomly my Hard Disk becomes Read-Only, I can't write anything on the disk.

When booting i am getting the following message:

"Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /

Press F to attempt to fix the errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting, or M for Manual recovery."

And after that the boot sequence tells me that tmp/ isn't accessible

Sometimes when i restart the Laptop it acts normally with read and write capabilities...

Any idea what is happening? Is my HDD dying or what? is there a specific log i can check for errors?? Any idea?
