I have ubuntu 16.04 installed.. whenever I boot the system and try to run ubuntu, busy box pops up. I do a manual check —fsck -yf /dev/sda12— and then reboot.. now the ubuntu boots properly but then after few minutes i am not able to save/write anything on ubuntu(says the the disk is read only) nor can i open my other partitions which i was able to access few minutes ago. I again restart my system and the same busybox appears. The cycle goes on and on. What should i do.. is my hard drive completely corrupted?
