<html><div>Cancel that. I found a fix. Thanks to veryone who offered help. (I needed to do approx. fsck /dev and then the name of the bad (inconsistent) sector, and then a huge bunch of fix (y/n) yes's. )</div>

<div>Thanks for this. Unfortunately, my xubuntu laptop will not boot up, otherwise I would.</div>

<div>I am reduced to using my girlfriend's windows laptop to connect with IRC.</div>

<div>
<div>I tried to use two different windows clients, but I get the feeling I was communicating with nobody.</div>

<div>I realize you are not offering help, but I am reaching the end of my patience. My (Xubuntu) root system needs to perform a manual fsck (which I assume is a file system check). However, the only place I can seem to get to is not a terminal place to enter commands (at which I am absolutely a beginner) but rather is " (initramfs) " which does not recognize ordinary commands like those that begin with " sudo ".</div>

<div>
<div>Thanks again</div>
