I restarted my laptop and it seems like I cannot get it to start. I get the error message ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16), and Busybox as picture illustrates:
Ubuntu – COMRESET failed errno=-16 While Starting Ubuntu 15.04

To check the file system on your Ubuntu partition...
- boot to the GRUB menu
- choose Advanced Options
- choose Recovery mode
- choose Root access
- at the # prompt, type
sudo fsck -f / - repeat the
fsckcommand if there were errors - type
reboot
If for some reason you can't do the above...
- boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
- start
gpartedand determine which /dev/sdaX is your Ubuntu EXT4 partition - quit
gparted - open a
terminalwindow - type
sudo fsck -f /dev/sdaX# replacing X with the number you found earlier - repeat the fsck command if there were errors
- type
reboot
had to post as an answer becasue comments doesn't allow you to input images:
If you open gparted, you have a menu in it.
When you open View -> Device Information you should see something like:
If you partition table is NOT gpt, please use (from menu) Device -> Create Partition Table :
and make sure to select gpt from the dropdown.
One your disk is having gpt partition table, you should be able to install ubuntu without issues.
EDIT:
However! if you look at the EDIT3 of your post (whih I didn't read before), it looks like your disk is failing. See values for Raw_Read_Error_Rate and Seek_Error_Rate They are VERY high. Also some messages in dmesg indicate your drive is failing and needs replacement.

I have searched for the same problem and finally found the culprit of this error! Whenever you using your Western Digital hard drive you have to run it jumperless ( for master only ) or for using it with any SATA-to-IDE adapter If you are not using any adapter, make sure you slave hard drive is connected properly and found! Otherwise this error will always shows up. Also causing bad CRC when writing to disk :(
