Brief Summary

  • I had a fully working Ubuntu system running on a 120GB SSD, with a 1TB HDD as storage. HDD mounted automatically at /storage
  • Wanted to dual boot windows 10 on my HDD, but alot of difficulty with "partition not found" message. Resizing partitions and formatting and converting to mbr also didn't help
  • Wiped clean my HDD, convert to mbr again, and format NTFS, used diskpart etc, still wasn't working.
  • Only managed to install after shifting windows installation files to a partition (some known issue with installing from thumbdrives) Repartitioned HDD to 200gb for windows, and 750gb still for storage
  • Windows works fine, but now Ubuntu is broken. After the LUKS password page, it stays for a really long time and then goes into emergency boot.
  • My suspicions are because the HDD that was mounted at /storage got wiped and assigned a new disk letter or something, so its trying to load a drive that isnt there (got renamed) and crashes?

Attached some relevant screenshots below. Would really really appreciate all help!! Thank you :)

Fixed it! TLDR: my suspicions were right.

I remembered how i first set up the automount (How do I add an additional hard drive?) and remembered editing the fstab file.

To fix this, in emergency mode, type blkid to find out the new UUID of your harddisk. Then type sudo vim /etc/fstab and change the old UUID to the new one and it should work magic again.
