Input/Output Error During Read on /Dev/Sda/

I have got myself stuck in a serious situation. There was problem booting my ubuntu after a hard shut-down. I used a live CD to run ubuntu. I installed boot-repair in it and ran it. To my surprise it not only removed my ubuntu but also my windows. Now I am not able to install ubuntu again because of this error. The report generated by boot-repair is in the provided link. Please help

Here are the screenshots of the smart data window from disks utility of my ubuntu partition.

Have you tried running fsck? It's a utility that checks consistencies in a file system and makes repairs. To run it you'll have to make sure the drive isn't mounted to avoid altering disk data and causing runtime errors. Boot from live DVD/USB and run fsck /dev/sda3 on the drive from your terminal.
