URGENT - Disabling "Emergency Mode" when I boot Zorin

When you run the fsck command, are you certain you are running on the correct partition?
You can use lsblk or df -h to ensure that you find the partition.
In my case, it shows:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 
tmpfs
/dev/sda4...

Unmount the partition, first. On mine, it would be sudo umount /dev/sda4 - be sure to change the sda to what yours actually is.

Run fsck -vf /dev/sd-- (For mine would be /dev/sda4)
Or you can run
fsck -y /dev/sd-- to make it repair without prompts as it runs.
You can use fsck -AR to run fsck on ALL filesystems (the R skips root since you cannot unmount it).

Really, thank you so much!!!! :smiley: I got some results!!!!... :smiley:

It worked very well until the " fsck -y /dev/sda1 " - after this command, it said " e2fsck: Is necessary a terminal to make interactive repairs "

What I should do now? :smiley:

It says " HDD clean, 312662/2449408 files, 3414856/9779968 block "

Now should I just type " systemctl reboot " in order to reboot the computer?

It happens the same... :confused:

There's any way to start a boot of the computer through the pen drive - using the terminal?

I have on the port a usb drive wrote in ISO...

Didn't you mention earlier that you cannot boot the LiveUSB on the USB stick?

Yes, this computer doesn't read it for some reason...

I tried in my laptop, and it worked straightforward when I pressed the key...

But this computer here isn't working like that

Can you try troubleshooting the LiveUSB
https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/fix-ubuntu-live-usb-not-booting/#:~:text=Inside%20of%20the%20BIOS%20area,exit%20and%20save%20the%20changes.

I need to be away from the computer for a while on this end.
If you can get the LiveUSB to work, you may be able to just do a Fresh OS Install and resolve the issue that way.

Is it down to the computer not being able to boot off USB's period? If so you need PLOP Boot:

I solved the problem.

I took out the bios battery in order to reset the bios - and then i set the pen drive out as the primary boot option.

(Then after the OS installation, I restarted the computer, and set the HDD again as the primary boot option).

I want to thank all of you for all the help and dedicated time to help me!!!... :blush:

I wish you all a rest of good week!!! :hugs:
