My Ubuntu system is not booting and stops at initramfs error as shown in the snapshot below.

Pic1

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

  • @GeorgeUdosen `sudo fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda2 -y` is the last command in the pic. pls check – Sooraj S Sep 13 '18 at 17:27
  • The command can't run as the file system is mounted! it should have been the first thing to run after the error! – George Udosen Sep 13 '18 at 18:48
