Linux remounts fs to read-only when an read/write error occurs
to prevent further damage on the fs. This is probably what happened
to you on your root filesystem. This behaviour can be tuned with
using an ext2fs mount option, for the savety of your data you should
prefer replacing your HD ASAP instead.
