I selected something else option during installation and did a maual format of the partitions. I only have one partition /dev/sda1 which is 1 tb. Is that an issue?

"My Hardware:

Msi 970 a gaming pro carbon nvidia gtx 970 amd fx 6300 Processor and a WD 1 TB hardrive

Earlier I used windows 8.1 later i shifted to windows 10 but it started crashing. So I shifted to Ubuntu desktop 20.04. I formatted couple of times thinking I might've done something wrong during installation. But after every reboot it boots to initramfs and I give fsck -yf or f /dev/sda1 to recover from it and then it boots and again it goes to initramfs. I am not sure what really is the issue here.enter image description here

Can anyone please help me out with this issue. Please find the attached snapshot for reference

  • After fsck -f /dev/sda1 last line looks like this /dev/sda1: 221124/61054976 files (0.2% non-contiguous), 7064932/244190208 blocks And during boot I get this ata5.00 failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED then it boots to login prompt after a while. This whole thing is taking about 15-20 minutes everytime – sai kumar Jun 19 '21 at 13:42

    Have you looked at the health of your disk? I’m guessing it might be quite old since Windows 8 is mentioned in your question. The answers to this question are a good place to start. https://askubuntu.com/questions/943533/hard-disk-health-indicator-app – PonJar Jun 19 '21 at 16:37
  • I agree with @PonJar's last statement; you've now provided details that highlight hardware failure or issues, so check health. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools – guiverc Jun 19 '21 at 21:41
