Input/output error _ Linux install

[RMvdBijl]

I try to install Linux Mint (live USB) and experience input/output error while using install Mint, Disk and/or Gparted. Somehow partitions cannot be made due to I/O error while write.

What did I do via terminal:
fsck -l
umount /dev/sda
mkfs /dev/sda
parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt (I/O error)
e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda (superblock error)
e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda (superblock error)

Superblock error message in detail: "Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda. The superblock could not be read or does not describe ext2/etx3/ext4 filesystem"

Made several changes in BIOS but running out of options. Does anyone have a suggestion how to get the harddisk (SSD 128 Gb) operational for an install of Linux minut?

Kind regards, Ronald

This is the wrong place for such questions, better use a forum.
