Begin: Mounting root file system... ...

Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
Done
Give up waiting for root-device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay=(did the system wait for enough time)
-Check root=(did the system wait for right device)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules: is /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/...-...-...-........-... Does not exists.
Dropping to shell)
BusyBox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1.13.3-1ubuntu)
enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs)
this is what i get when i choose boot ubuntu.
(initramfs) behaves like a command prompt.
I cant boot to my graphical desktop.
#i've not done anything serious with my system.
#i dont want to loose my current ubuntu.
#i cant boot to windows(7) also.
Please anyone help me to recover all safely...
Have you set a disk label for /?
Then, at grub, edit the kernel line, change it so that it looks like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-... ... root=/dev/disk/by-label/LABEL
where LABEL is the disk label you've set.
If you've not set a label, then try to guess which disk & which
partition is linux installed on, and accordingly try:
root=/dev/sd[a-z][1-n]
