A quick update, I burned a new live USB and I can now get some things to work, like boot repair. I am told there was an error but my expertise at repairing these things tends to be limited to swearing threats of violence and treacherous looks while holding instruments of destruction.
I know I can just reinstall and repoint to my /home folder, although I do not see it labelled as such and that does concern me somewhat. At present i am being cheap and waiting for 500 GB SSDs to drop below €50 for a decent brand and then I am going to install my OS on an SSD. I know 500 is overkill, but it will last a long time. I would rather not reinstall at this very moment, if there is an alternative.
In any case, the report from Boot Repair is at:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rh4tBjSWKK/
I have some concern about lines 252 to 264. I do not remember ever seeing a number of "loops" together
As well, I should mention that SDB is a dead drive that is just taking up space until I get an SSD. Stupid, I know, but I am also lazy.
I am now going through some of the old advice I have had from you and selecting reports that might be of use.
I cannot seem to be able to get "boot info script" to run, so I am unable to give that information.
I ran sudo fdisk and that returned:

And again, I am wondering about all those Loops, but I have no idea.
When I ran df -h I got this:
