As you say the BusyBox ash terminal does not show fsck as a valid command
BUT your advice of running "fsck -y /dev/sda5" worked perfectly. I do
appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
My computer is a Lenovo T400 reconditioned from "Ministry of Freedom" with
Libreboot and no disk encryption or LVM.
The error message when exiting from the Busybox shell is:
dev/sda5 contains a file system with errors. Check forced.
My visible partitions etc are:
an automatic update may have caused the problem (as I did nothing
between one login and the next) and I guess if I knew where to look I could
modify the offending script.
Any help much appreciated.
