I recently experienced problems with my ubuntu 18.04 and no one couldn't actually help me out there

The Root filesystem on dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck[This one needs a different approach,others are not working]

So I want to reinstall it but I want to copy my data on the hard disk to some other drive. The problem is that after successful login, I can only work on the system for almost 1 minute before which it will end up in a black screen full of errors https://drive.google.com/open?id=11r3gaAlU9Xlcjd10ir0Z_7n9cFq2dY1f

Please help me out in this

To check the file system on your Ubuntu partition...

  • boot to the GRUB menu
  • choose Advanced Options
  • choose Recovery mode
  • choose Root access
  • at the # prompt, type sudo fsck -f /
  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors
  • type reboot

If for some reason you can't do the above...

  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
  • open a terminal window
  • type sudo fdisk -l
  • identify the /dev/XXXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/XXXX # replacing XXXX with the number you found earlier
  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors
  • type reboot

Update #1:

To retrieve any data you'll need:

  • Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
  • some external destination to store your data

Then...

  • boot to the Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
  • open a Files window
  • open a second new Files window showing your external storage
  • single-click on your hard disk in the left window pane to mount it
  • find your Home folder in the right window pane
  • drag any important files from your Home folder to the second Files window

Use a usb stick run a live os off it, transfer files, and make sure if ur gonna chekdisk it’s not an integrity checking read write heavy sort of check disk use something delicate to literally prod at the blocks of data
