The chkdsk /f doesn't move anything from the bad areas but will report any bad sectors it finds.
A chkdsk /r will though but data can be lost, so if any bad sectors are found in the chkdsk /f then you should back up immediately, both with a full system image and with your personal stuff separate - you will also need to create a system repair disk as you will have to boot up with that to put your image onto a new HDD.
If you are using an OEM machine, then it may be too late to create the Recovery Disks which will be a copy of the Recovery Partition, unless you have already created them and then you would be able to factory reset the machine with those and then put your own stuff back on.

That doesn't look too healthy if you've run that after a chkdsk /r
Are you sure it told you to run with the /r switch or was it with the /f switch ?
Go back into Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Application and scroll down until you see entries for wininit
Your latest in read-only mode will be the first one you see, but check lower down for one with the time stamp for when you ran the chkdsk /r
You'll know when you run a chkdsk /r because there are 5 stages as opposed to just the 3 when you use /f
Depending upon what the wininit log says, you could be looking at a factory reset or repair install.
