You can start by checking if these errors may be repairable using Disk Utility. Try this first:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the out-dented drive entry in the sidebar. Note in the status area near the bottom of the window if SMART is reported as "Verified." If not, then the drive is failing. If that is not the case, then select the indented entry, usually the Macintosh HD entry, from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If you have no success with the above, then replace the hard drive. There are many reliable sources of drives, but be sure you get one that is the exact same model as you now have so it will work properly with the temperature sensor for the drive. Otherwise, you will need a special cable to by-pass this. Otherwise, your fans will run a full speed all the time - quite noisy.
