Can't boot stuck in Fedora Emergency Mode

I was in the midst of using my laptop when the screen went blank. This has happened before but it came back with in a few seconds or after a reboot. When I rebooted this time I was put into emergency mode. Everytime I try rebooting and I have tried using previous kernel versions I still end up in emergency mode.

I’m an absolute Linux noob so I really don’t know what to do with emergency mode. I have run journalctl these warnings show up in the log

When I enter the UEFI setup my harddrive is listed twice. I don’t know why that would be. I used a brand new drive and did a clean install of Fedora 39 using the default partitioning.
I have managed to boot to a livedisk instance of Fedora 39 when I run the disk app I only see one copy of my drive. It’s divided into three partitions (I guess the default Fedora setup) partition one is a 629 mb FAT; partition 2 is a 1.1 GB ext4; and partition 3 is btrfs (it is listed as not mounted). When I try to mount it I get an error "can’t read superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3 (udisks-error-quark,0)

log entries point to problems with the SSD. When you boot off the live disk (USB stick I assume?), and if it has the smartmontools package in it, you can check the drive using this from the terminal:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1

The output may well show if there’s a problem with the drive.

However I don’t think that the Fedora install ISO contains smartmontools. There’s supposed to be a live ISO image with the package installed which you could flash onto a USB drive, but I’m getting a 502 error from the site atm.

Meanwhile, try re-seating the drive.

Hope others will have better options to suggest.
