seems like your windoze partition is having problems (03:01 = hda1), namely
a corrupted directory entry.

well, i used to have such messages on my Linux box some time ago. This could mean
that:
a) your hda1 needs ScanDisk
b) you need a new hard drive :(
It seems strange that kernel remounts it ro on problems... but not
impossible :). I have "errors=remount-ro" in /etc/fstab options for "/" by
default... how about you? Maybe it "spreads" over newly mounted partitions?
:)
Thus Scan your hd, if it doesn't help - backup important data and buy a new
hd :(
hope this helps
