Ubuntu – the root filesystem requires a manual fsck

14.04bootfsck

When I try to boot my laptop, I get this message:
/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.

/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck

Busybox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _

when I write: fsck/dev/sd1
I get the message: /bin/sh:fsck/dev/sd1

What shall I do???

You need space between command and argument. The command is fsck, and the argument is the device /dev/sda1. Try fsck /dev/sda1. Note that there is a space between fsck and /dev/sda1.

Additionally you may want to use fsck -y /dev/sda1 to answer yes automatically to any questions fsck asks.
