When I attempt to boot my Pi into a terminal I get this error, please tell me I can fix this somehow.
[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,6) ]
I tried doing this; Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown- block(179,6) running Raspbian on top of NOOBS but it didn't work with. Once at the recovery command line I typed sudo fsck.ext4 -y /dev/mmcblk06p and was told -sh; sudo; not found. Thoughts/help anyone please.
Most of the experienced users on this site don't use NOOBS - even on the Foundation Forum experienced users tell new users not to use it - I don't know why the Foundation keeps recommending it.
Unless you have something worth recovering I suggest you use Etcher to install Raspbian to a SD Card (like the vast bulk of us).
If you get to a recovery console it MAY work if you use sudo fsck.ext4 -y /dev/mmcblk0p6 (as in the tutorial).
NOTE that tutorial is obsolete, I doubt NOOBS has a root password, and if logged as root you don't need sudo.
PS Most of us don't attempt recovery - we just restore from a backup if the image becomes corrupt.
PPS If you do a fresh Raspbian install, use a new SD Card, and you may be able to mount the old SD Card and recover files.
The following is the normal recovery process (assuming you can find cmdline.txt - which WON'T be on the 1st partition - probably p5)
init=/bin/sh at the end of cmdline.txt and reboot.mount -n -o remount,rw /Just to be clear the above will NOT allow FS repair (this needs a different working root partition) but allows access to files and sometimes lets problems be corrected manually.
