Wave bye bye to your file system, it looks to be well on it's way out the door.

Backup any important files, zap (reformat) the disk and re-install. My guess is the crash corrupted the MFT, which is bad, but a reformat and re-install will cure. If you still get problems after this then the HD has booked it's holiday, and you will need a replacement.
