Sorry. I did not mention that I had ATA errors only from sda3. I reformatted the hard disk and had reloaded the whole OS too. No errors while formatting or running badblocks. Googling showed that many had faced spurious ATA errors with Ubuntu. Before I invest in a new hard disk, I want to be sure it definitely is a hard disk hardware problem. .....
