Here is the picture of my problem. I cannot boot my laptop and cannot log on to the ubuntu screen. I have serious problems as I have copied the wrong info on the data recovery through Test disk.
What actually happened:
1) Used testdisk and backed up 2 files. 1 file was not imoportant. Now the hard drive space is now completely full. I tried so many sources on Askubuntu and google but still no help.
2) Keep showing black screen with "_" flashing - The link that I uploaded is here.
Please help, cannot sleep until its done. Very important files including family and work is here.
Now my screen keeps blinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4twl0V8JQ
Thanks

As I've already suggested, you must unmount the partition first, but it's easier to just boot a 'live' system (such as install media) and runfsckfrom there (as your live [dvd or thumb-drive] will be mounted & your disk partitions unmounted allowing fsck to proceed)

@guiverc How can I do this in a detailed step by step? I don't know how to unmount this. It is very confusing. I really appreaciate your time for your help.

If you don't know how to do it (you just execute theumountcommand, but the moment you do that you've lost access to thefsckcommand you want to execute next, so.... [long & complicated]), which is why I suggested booting a 'live' medium (such as Ubuntu install media), as it saves loads of command, plus is far less prone to error (thus safer for your data)

I also found out when I wrote on the command promt "df -h" the /dev/sda1 is almost full which is very frustrating. Thank you again for your help
