So I have an Ubuntu + Windows 10 dual boot on my Acer Aspire ES1-572-33BP. After my laptop fell to the ground, everything seemed to be working properly, but, after shutting Ubuntu down, I couldn't boot into it again. The error looks like this.
Since I left my Ubuntu LiveUSB home, I installed smartmantools into my Windows 10 partition and ran systemctl -a /dev/sda to see what happened. The output is as follows:
> smartctl -a /dev/sda

So I don't know if my HDD has been damaged, since GRUB and Windows 10 are still working just fine. Has the damage only affected Ubuntu, and, if it did, is it possible to fix it? Is booting to Windows 10 from my HDD still safe?
