Hi,

After new installation of the grub-pc, grub-common hundreds of the following errors appeared.
Those errors appeared again after sudo update-grub as well.
I put here some small part of those errors:

We need to see your /var/log/syslog to be sure but it looks like you have a drive failure. If you can capture the detailed errors in the syslog, post them here.
