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)

數位音樂下載

數位音樂下載 為非以「實體」方式來販賣音樂的相關產品，而使用數位格式如mp3、AAC等文件格式來進行銷售販賣的一种音乐产业形式。著名的數位音樂下載服務商有iTunes Store、RecoChoku、Google Play音乐和微软Zune等。数字音乐下载在二十一世纪初一度风靡全球， [1] [2] 使得传统唱片产业走向衰落，但其自身也在2010年代流媒体音乐服务如Apple Music、Spotify等的挤压下迅速失去市场份额。 [3] [4] 数字音乐下载有便于携带、传播迅速、制作简单成本低等优点，与流媒体音乐相比也能更好保障音乐人权益； [5] 但它同时很可能带来侵犯版权和滥用的情形， [6] 也给音乐产业带来了诸多不利影响。数字音乐下载为音乐人和乐迷提供了更加便捷直接的交流渠道，也一定程度上推动了网络音乐人的出现和独立音乐的迅速发展。 [7] 目录 1 历史 1.1 技术积淀（1987-2000） 1.2 出现与兴起（2000-2004） 1.3 唱片市场的颠覆者（2004-2007） 1.4 巅峰和衰落（2005-2013） 1.5 摇摇欲坠的现状与不可预知的明天（2014至今） 2 主要文件格式 2.1 PCM编码格式 2.1.1 WAV 2.1.2 APE 2.1.3 FLAC 2.2 苹果推出的无损文件格式 2.2.1 AIFF 2.2.2 ALAC 2.3 有损压缩格式 2.3.1 MP3 2.3.2 AAC 3 主要市场 3.1 iTunes Store 3.2 Google Play音乐商店 3.3 亚马逊音乐商店 3.4 部分其他音乐商店 4 影响与评价 4.1 对音乐产业的影响 4.2 对科技行业的影响 4.3 正面评价 4.4 负面评价 4.4.1 侵权问题 4.4.2 经营模式不明晰 4.4.3 不适应移动时代 4.5 文化现象 5 延伸阅读 6 参考资料 历史 苹果iTunes+iPod的软硬件搭配让数字音...
