How to pause the boot screen? I need this because I see some error message every time on boot. it is quick so I can't take screenshots. I assume it is hw related. maybe HDD or SSD. I need to ensure that before data loss. I can't remember fully but it is like {DRW} and some number.
Your question is an example of the X - Y problem. It is not that you want to know how to pause the boot screen - it is that you want access to the error messages.
You can access the Boot Logs (and errors) with
journalctl -b
The boot screen cannot be paused because it is a running INIT process.
There is no "pause" ability anymore than you can pause the travel of electron energy through a wire...
From your screenshot - we can see that you have some Bad Sectors on the drive that question its health and integrity. I would suggest being diligent with back ups and planning ahead for a replacement drive.
which one I have two HDD and SSD. how to check this error in the terminal so that I can be sure? is there any way to repair it?
/dev/sda shows the error.
You can use
lsblk
in terminal to ID drives and partitions.
Bad Sectors can only be set to ignore. They are often due to small physical damage to the disk itself in an HDD or due to degraded components in an SSD. They cannot be repaired - only have the data moved to a good sector and that data repaired if corrupted.
However, while a drive can last a while with bad sectors - they often can be an indicator of future troubles.
It cannot be said: It may last for years - or days.
Your best bet is to play it safe. Make back ups - as often as needed and plan ahead.
i have restored Windows/Zorin/linux many times using rescuezilla, is this the cause?

There are many things that can wear out an HHD or SSD. A great many things. We must always remember to consider them as a Consumable With Limited Lifespans.
i cant understand the report. is there any errors? as a general user i am so sorry to asking this like of question. thanks in advanced for your response.

would you please tell me which one? SSD (first)/HDD (second)?
I have checked for bad sectors and errors in Windows but nothing was found and everything is normal. I have used chkdsk command and diskgenius software to test bad sectors. I have reinstalled zorin but show this error. I have ssd(1st) and hdd(2nd). Zorin in ssd(1st) and HDD has no windows and it is NTFS format one partition only. need to know which HDD is problematic? Please see the video
is there any way to repair it?
Thanks.
I presume that the error you are referring to in the video is when it displays error: failure writing sector... to hd0
Again, this most often is referencing a bad sector.
One thing you could try is checking (since you are dual boot) if you are booting One OS in LEgacy (MBR) and one in EFI. They both should boot the same way.
How can I do that? I think i found the problem.
I have reseated ssd and hdd physically and cleaned them. now this message.
Please see the updated video
