It could be that your hard disk is developing bad blocks. My guess is that
the drive can still be read but it reads the sectors more slowly due to a
developing bad block/s. And that after a second try, linux was able to read
from the problematic sector. From my short experience with Linux, Linux
is more intolerant of bad blocks. If your drive's warranty has expired you
can run the badblocks program in linux and then reformat the drive again
this time specifying mke2fs to avoid the bad blocks found by badblocks. See
man badblocks and man mke2fs for details. If your drive is still under
warranty have it replaced at once.
Please take note that I am just guessing. Please correct me if I am wrong.
