Other than running that live disk on another system to see how it behaves there, it sounds like the HDD in question (or the controller) have serious issues.
Or try another known good HDD in the system (removing the dodgy one) & see how it behaves.
The upshot is ...
HDD is failing (the live OS reports to me that the HDD has many bad sectors)
so my plan now is .........

I now know which drive is about to cark it
remove it from the PC (which is turned off, of course)
drop it into a cradle
clone it using HDDClone to a newly formatted new drive (it's ext4) that's also in an external case
I'm hoping that HDDClone won't copy bad sectors but if it does I should be able to run some sort of repair programme
