i dont know what is going on with my HDD, everytime i boot my macbook pro, i get this screens (attached), so i have to use disk recovery from the recovery partition and then repair the disk and then repair permissions. Then i can boot by selecting "restart" on the apple menu.

But this is happening every time i shut down my macbook. Is the hdd going to die ?? or what can i do to try to fix it?

Your hard drive is having difficulties with corruption. Probably due to bad sectors which there's not much you can do except replace the drive.

First things first. Immediately make a backup of all your data using Time Machine or any other method you choose. Afterward, restore the backup you made to the new hard drive.

I'm afraid not.

Constantly repairing a defective drive is a work of futility. It's better to replace it and move on. But I can't stress upon you how important it is to backup everything as soon as you can.
