Ubuntu system corrupted

[Hari]

Hey people ,
 Just an update. I have started the recovery process. Now i am creating an
image of the damaged file system to my ext HDD. So i think i will perfom
the repair on my main HDD so that i always have a backup of it. If at all i
perform repair on my ext HDD i fear loosing of data and hence the choice.
Will update on the status
Cheers !
