It looks like you have physical problems with your drive. Replace it.
What can I do for such a case? Can't Linux mark bad blocks so that they
can't be used? Does it have something like scandisk or chkdsk?
Most modern drives allow you to run badblocks and mark them so they're
not used. However, in practise, this is a waste of time. In the gold
old days, you could this and get some more life out of your drive.
These days, you won't buy yourself much time - the drive is failing and
will continue to fail. It is not worth the effort.
Don't tell me that the harddisk cannot be used anymore cause I have
another harddisk which is less than 2 years old since I bought and it
has some such problems.
I have seen this on drives that are new and drives that are old. Age
has nothing to do with it.
Luckily, it can still be used. In a day, I use less than 8 hours and I
don't use the computer everyday. (Average of 3 hrs a day)
You're out of luck.
