My Ubuntu system is not booting and stops at initramfs error as shown in the snapshot below.
I have tried to enter exit
as suggested by @ramsudharsan in Boot drops to a (initramfs) prompts/busybox, but it is stuck at the same screen.
So any help'd be appreciated to find a fix to this problem.
Attempts
I tried the fix suggested by @Amith KK in Boot drops to a (initramfs) prompts/busybox after booting ubuntu 14.04 64bit live usb, the same problem persists. I even tried using bootrepair
, yet no change.
And at last I tried to copy the data to another external HDD to format my hard disk, now it seems my SATA hard disk is extremely slow, giving only below 1mbps speed(external hard disk is fine I checked it with another system).
Note
It did not certainly happen after any update as the system was not connected with internet
System details
Single boot Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit, 2GB ram, SATA HDD
