Stuck in Emergency Mode

Post by prentinobarus »

I have a problem when I try to enter the Linux Mint OS.
I'm stuck in Emergency Mode.
Chronology:
I forcibly shut down my laptop because the screen was blank.
I use Linux Mint and Windows 10 as dual-boot.
Is there a way to overcome this problem? I have important data on the Linux Mint OS.
The specifications of my laptop are Core i5 -7200U, 4GB RAM, 1TB Hard drive.

Here's the picture

What happens when you hit Control-D as suggests the prompt ?

"I have important data on the Linux Mint OS..." and on two alternative removable stores? You really should not need to be concerned about your data. USB sticks and pocket hard-drives are fast but can fail all-at-once with no warning. DVD-R are very cheap and they fade slowly, giving plenty of warning that they need duplicating or discarding.

o Boot a Live Session Mint to take external control of the installed OS.
o Get your data duplicated.
o Use gparted to check-and-repair the Linux OS file-systems.
o Try a reboot to the installed OS.
