I loaded an Ubuntu 16.04 DVD, and ran sudo fsck from the live environment, on the triple-boot SSD setup on laptop (1), see signature below. Just to give a more complete picture, the partitioning of /dev/sda is as follows:

sda1 ntfs system reserved    flag = boot
sda2 ntfs windows 7
sda3 extended
sda5 ext4 PCLOS installed as root only
sda6 ext4 LL /root
sda7 ext4 LL /home

I ran the fsck command for both LL partitions, using the "automatic yes to all" setting: i.e. sudo fsck -y /dev/sda6 and sudo fsck -y /dev/sda7. 

However, as Christmas Day (post #1), the system still wont boot to a grub screen: I still have a black screen with short flashing white line flashing near top left corner of display.

So I reboot to the Ubuntu live disk, and attempt to reinstate the grubscreen, and put LL at the top of the grublist using:

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda

This ran fine without error, however, still no luck with the subsequent reboot, i.e. black screen again

Should I run fsck on /dev/sda1 and for the PCLOS partitions too ..?

I get the feeling the system is totally screwed, and I might need to reinstall LL as root only, and just hope my configuration files stored in /sda7 haven't been harmed. 


What's your opinion?
