Ubuntu Booting Issues - (Unknown File System errors) Version 18.04.1 LTS












0















Yesterday when a formatted an external USB drive i thought i made a mistake initially in selecting the wrong drive. Everything as fine though, nothing went wrong initially.



After all that had happened my computer continued to work fine. Went to bed;woke up today and started working and everything was fine (i did not power off last night it was on sleep mode). However l was trying to install this dev tool and to make sure everything was working l restarted it and it wont boot properly just an 'unknown file system' error when l boot.



l used a live USB Ubuntu (Try Ubuntu) to recover and followed some instructions to use boot repair from: https://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/



l did that and tried to restart again and still am ending up with the same file system error. Keep in mind l already checked all the file systems using the commands on Grub to check if it was loading from the right partition but all of them turned up with nothing any ideas ?
