Ubuntu dual boot error: failure reading sector/you need to load the kernel first
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a dual boot of Ubuntu 18.04 on a HP 250 G6 i5-7200U/8GB laptop alongside Windows 10. One in every 10 restarts will magically work to boot Ubuntu, the other nine return this message.
The laptop is new and the disk is not corrupt or broken.
I have tried, from a USB boot:
- reinstalling and updating grub,
- the Boot Repair Disc,
- the chroot method described here.
At this point, is there anything else that I could try?
Thanks.

You said the disk is not broken, but are (SMART) error counts increasing? and it just hasn't reached broken/warranty service yet? (don't forget windows will be elsewhere on disk, so it's working doesn't mean the ssd/hdd where ubuntu is stored is valid - by not broken I take it you've already looked at drive health usingsmartctlor other)
