  • If you can intercept boot ( press a key to get to the grub menu or whatever... I haven't used Ubuntu in a while so maybe it's not so simple anymore) you may be able to enter rescue / single-user mode and let apt complete the changes and then revert them.

    A clean reinstall may be easier depending on how much you've changed on the system. Easier isn't always better, fix this and you'll know how to do it again in the future.

  • I think a more clear name for this would be "filesystem data structures" since the key idea is editing structured data through the filesystem. I can imagine a FUSE driver that can map many types of data to this structure.

  • It is NTFS after all, support has been flaky over the years. Are you running modern Linux NTFS drivers? If there's no other messages and chkdsk repair (on Windows) doesn't fix it I would assume the filesystem is alright and look at trying different NTFS drivers versions on Linux.

    Have you verified that Windows can actually read all of the files? It may show them and not be able to read some of the files if the filesystem is corrupted.

  • If you really need the data on it, get another disk and make an image of the failed drive asap.

    If not, skip that step.

    See if testdisk can detect your partitions and read data from them.
