So here is the deal. I was updated Ubuntu on my laptop and half way through the install process the battery died, after I plugged it in it now boots to a screen where I can choose the version of ubuntu to boot from one of them being a recovery mode and there are two memory test options as well.
But no matter what version I choose I get the meessage stating that
" filesystem check or mount failed.
maintenance shell will now be started.
Control-D will terminate this shell and contine booting after re-trying file systems.
any further errors will be ignored
root@mr-G585 :~# "
and nothing else will happen on that screen, and hitting control D brings up.
"mountall start/starting. "
followed by the same message as seen above.
I have tried to boot from a usb drive, when I restart with a USB drive inserted it starts and gets past the Lenovo screen ( that is the laptop manufacturer) and then goes to a blank screen, and even though the boot sequence says optical drive the dvd does nothing.
What am I missing and/or doing wrong. please keep in mind I am not overly computer/Ubuntu savvy
