How does it happen? Usually it is a sector going bad on the disk.

And when one sector goes bad, the rest will follow, then the drive fails and you've wasted your time reinstalling the OS.
Spend the extra time, it's not much and test the drive first.
If the drive's bad - Stop - buy a new drive and install to that.
