There's no going back or solving this.

All you can do is try running a live ubuntu or some linux dist, access your files push them to cloud or drive, to ensure you don't loose your data and then reinstall OS

  • How do I push my files to a cloud drive? – Kai Lawson Baker Mar 30 '21 at 08:17
  • prepare a usb with linux, once you boot your system with the usb there will be an option to run or test os "named as Live" or try ubuntu try that option this will boot your system and you can move your files to drive as there will be a browser as well – Cybertrons Mar 30 '21 at 08:21
  • Where will the option be? I'm using a dell r210 ii PowerEdge server – Kai Lawson Baker Mar 30 '21 at 08:24
  • in the boot menu once you insert the USB , reboot your server, it should come up by pressing f12 in dell, during boot , be caution don't hit the install now, just go with TRY UBUNTU – Cybertrons Mar 30 '21 at 08:29
  • It's an external hard drive that I plug in using a USB right? – Kai Lawson Baker Mar 30 '21 at 08:34
  • NO, you need to prepare a flash/Pen drive with linux. Using some different system(laptop or desktop) download the image from ubuntu site and burn it to flash drive using (win32 on windows or rufus or etcher on linux)

    Don't use your hardrive for that.

  • No, It will help you prepairing a bootable flash drive with linux Then you need to boot your server with this flash drive and choose TRY UBUNTU – Cybertrons Mar 30 '21 at 09:05
  • I already have that, how do I back up the hard drive so I don't lose important files. I have a disk drive and a disk with the data of the operating system. I just need to back up the current files of the operating system that is messed up. I have 2 Minecraft servers and no backup for it. How do I back up the hard drive to my laptop? – Kai Lawson Baker Mar 30 '21 at 09:08
  • In this case just boot your server with live mode. using this https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#3-boot-from-usb-flash-drive

    once you get it running go to files and you will see your disk from the server.
