Default Slackware Boot Problem

I just installed Slackware on an old IBM computer, I booted up yesterday and was able to use the X Window just fine. This morning, I booted up, it said /dev/hda3 contains a file system error, and it does a scan check. When it's done it says an error occurred during the root file system check, and prompts me to hit ctrl-d to proced with normal startup or login as root, I hit ctrl-d and it just restarts the computer and starts the same thing. When I login as root I can't get into the X windows. Someone help?

There could be a problem with the hard drive. You can try to reformat, and see if it happens again, or find a repair utility and do an integrity check on the disk.
