When you start your Linux computer, you might encounter the following error message during the boot process:

“No root file system defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu”

Though it suggests you to correct this from partition menu, but you do not find any option on this screen.

After this error message, the bootup process gets halted and you need to reboot your system. Every time you go for a cold reboot, you experience the same behavior.

The final result of this behavior would be the inaccessibility of data and thus data loss. It will put you in need of Linux Data Recovery.
