So my Asus laptop has had a few problems and I'm looking forward to buying something new, but until then, I need to fix another issue. Yesterday, Ubuntu crashed, and when I try to boot it now i get: Error: attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0 Press any key to continue... After this, I'm sometimes asked to do a manual fsck, which I do, and after exiting initframes it boots to the login screen, but it takes some time to log in, and I can't run any programs, they just attempt to open for some time and then stop. What can I do about this?

    Welcome to AskUbuntu. Have you use `gparted` or another tool to modify the sizes, or move partitions? If you have, you've moved the 'grub 1.5' sector to beyond the capacity of your bios/hardware. You may get some clues from https://askubuntu.com/questions/397485/what-to-do-when-i-get-an-attempt-to-read-or-write-outside-of-disk-hd0-error If I was you I'd check that condition of your drive anyway as a first step using `smartctl` or whatever you favorite tool for this is. – guiverc Nov 20 '17 at 09:48

It sounds like your disk is broken ... take a backup of any important data, buy a new disk, or a new computer, if you have planed to replace it anyway.
