I didn't say "disk error" I said "disk system" and I made a
particular point in the first message of saying that such an
error is most likely due to a combination of problems with the
motherboard and disk.  And YES, a disk subsystem error CAN crash
the system in fact not only crash it but completely garbage
the filesystem in the process.

I think your own imagination has run away with you. ;-)
