Hello,

I was using my 16.04 (on the external disk), actually installing Anaconda 5.0.1. Install was successful, however when typing
$ anaconda-navigator there was an error.
Using tab to autocomplete a path in the terminal gave me the warning "filesystem is in read-only mode". I rebooted.

Got to a BusyBox v1.2 screen, and a initramfs prompt.
Power off, I switched to Windows (internal disk), found a solution on askubuntu and tried it.
So back to initramfs i typed

exit
fsck /dev/sda3 -y
reboot
where /dev/sda3 is my root.
Now I get a blue screen that says:

error: invalid sector size 675302232. repeated a thousand times.
It ends with

error: no such device: a-long-series-of-numbers-and-letters.
error: invalid sector size 675302232.
alloc magic is broken at 0x...
Aborted. Press any key to exit

This booting is becoming a tragedy. Where did I go wrong?
