Is my hard disk dying? up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 When I try to install linux, it tells me there is an input output error on dev sda. I have tried both Ubuntu and Mint on two different computers. So that narrows it down to the hdd. After hours of googling and trying different things I tried making the hardrive ext4 with gparted but that comes up with an error. This makes me think that the hdd is bad. There are a few reasons I think the hdd isn't bad. I can use the hdd in windows fully. Windows and gparted disk health checks both say it is fine. Its SMART data is all good. So... help? Last week when I checked the smart data was all good. Now it is bad. Odd. So I now am pretty sure I have a dead hdd. I am posting the smart data here anyways. smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [i686-linux-3.1.6-pmagic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Device Model: ST3160815AS Serial Number: 5RX4PFTR Firmware Version: 3.CHF User Capacity: 160,041,885,696 bytes [160 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Sun Jun 24 17:07:49 2012 UTC SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Since a hard reset (power button held down until system powers down), every time I try to boot into Ubuntu, there's an I/O Error in /dev/sda7 and nothing seems to happen after the errors in the screenshot are printed. I have tried the following: Ran e2fsck multiple times on /dev/sda7 from 14.04 LTS live usb with combinations of http://askubuntu.com/questions/795483/cannot-boot-due-to-i-o-error-16-04-lts -c -p -v -y. I could boot into 16 after the first run, but never again. Ran fsck from Ubuntu recovery from GRUB. No luck. Ran Ubuntu 16.04 with upstart. It booted till the login prompt (not screen). After login, startx results in fatal errors. I had to hard reset to shut it down. Failed to load Network Manager, Login Service Avahi DNS/mDNS blah, Modem Manager, Accounts Service and Thermal Daemon Service This never happend when I hard reset this same laptop when it was running 15.10 and 14.04 LTS. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. boot 16.04 hard-drive upstart fsck share|improve this question asked Jul 6 at 9:48 Abilops 33 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted I/O errors usually refer to physical damage to the hardware. Hard reset goes really heavy on the hardware, so it would not surprise me that by doing it again and again (14.04, 15.10, 16.04, how many times did you do it?) finally you managed to break your hard drive! :) My suggestion is to stop using it immediately, switch to a live session and save as much data as you can before the situation degenerates, then test the drive (via the "Disks" application) and see if you can savage it by a simple formatting (but I strongly doubt thi
