Yes, it is the start-up disk, I only have one partition.

I ran First Aid in recovery mode and the first time it gave me similar errors and a message that the disk could not be repaired.

But when I ran it the second time it gave no more errors. Third time the same.

I re-booted normally and re-ran First Aid and there were no more errors. Both the storage system and the file system checks reported exit code 0.

Does this mean the HDD should be fine now? Thanks.
