Please suggest a way out. I am dual booting with windows 7 and I have many photos which I can not afford to lose.

you seem to have modified your partitioning scheme outside ubuntu. what you need to do is live boot some linux distribution and open gparted. then you would find UUIDs for all the disk drives. Open /etc/fstab of your installed linux (not live boot but your crashed linux system). There you would find a table showing drive partition UUID and mount point. check for any UUIDs which are invalid (i.e there is a UUID shown in fstab but there is no drive with that UUID shown in gparted) and replace the UUIDs of each partition with the new ones.

  • BTW, you will not loose any data. in worst case scenario you can simply copy those photos to an external drive and reinstall ubuntu – aveemashfaq Jul 09 '14 at 07:57
