Sudden Bad Sectors and no Ubuntu on HDD

I have tried to downgrade from 18.10 to 16.04 LTS with Bootable USB.
That USB was a bit of a problem as I had tried few times to rip Kali Linux and had troubles formatting it to make another ISO image. After few tries, managed to format it and then downloaded 16.04 LTS and successfully made it bootable.



After I started the installation from the USB,
on the screen I didn't see the current 18.10 version, but instead only the option to "Erase and install 16.04LTS". That was strange, as normally it will offer me to install it next to the Ubuntu 18.10 I already have.



However, I proceeded with "Erase disk and install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS".
Then an error appeared that could not write on disk and installation terminated.



Now I am on a live Ubuntu and some bad sectors appeared, didn't have them before. Also I can not get in to the BIOS (my lap top is Sony Vaio VPCEH).
On startup I have the Vaio screen for 1-2 seconds and then the black screen. f12 and F2 doesn't get me anywhere, no access to the BIOS



Please if someone can have a quick look on the fsck output and let me know if everything is normal or there is something weird that can be fixed. (In "normal" I mean that my HDD is fucked up and I will have to replace it) as currently I can not write Ubuntu on it.

    Sorry it's not clear. You wanted to move to 16.04 LTS, downloaded 16.04 LTS and when it booted it said 18.04 LTS & looked strange. Did you verify the ISO before writing? (or was 18.04 a typo?). I also don't see any [useful] fsck output (on one you didn't specify it what device to fsck, the other was mounted) and it only checks for logical file-system errors anyway, and I'd be checking the integrity of your hdd/sdd electronics (smartctl) and then mechanics/storage (badblocks) etc and not partition table (fdisk) or fs (fsck) first too.

  • I had Ubuntu 18.10 and tried to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. And I have downloaded the file from the ubuntu main page. Thank you for looking into this. I will have get familiar with smartctl and badblocks and will get back with some outputs. ( I can't remember what was the error while installing it, as it was noting particular. It just suggested to create CD/DVD iso file at lower speed)

    Sorry it's not clear. You wanted to move to 16.04 LTS, downloaded 16.04 LTS and when it booted it said 18.04 LTS & looked strange. Did you verify the ISO before writing? (or was 18.04 a typo?). I also don't see any [useful] fsck output (on one you didn't specify it what device to fsck, the other was mounted) and it only checks for logical file-system errors anyway, and I'd be checking the integrity of your hdd/sdd electronics (smartctl) and then mechanics/storage (badblocks) etc and not partition table (fdisk) or fs (fsck) first too.

  • I had Ubuntu 18.10 and tried to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. And I have downloaded the file from the ubuntu main page. Thank you for looking into this. I will have get familiar with smartctl and badblocks and will get back with some outputs. ( I can't remember what was the error while installing it, as it was noting particular. It just suggested to create CD/DVD iso file at lower speed)
