I am using dual boot (Windows 7 and Ubuntu). When I boot the machine, this error displays on the screen:

grub rescue>
grub rescue> ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos6)...(hd0,msdos7)
(hd0,msdos6)  (hd0,msdos7)--> are linux ext4 partitions
grub rescue> set root=(hd0,msdos6)
grub rescue>set prefix =(hdo,msdos6)/boot/grub
insmod (hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub/linux.mod
linux (hd0,msdos6)/  --->its not showing path for Vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6

By using live CD, I tried with these steps still it is in grub rescue.

root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/
root@ubuntu:~#df -hT
/dev/sdb6     ext4    130G  219M  124G   1% /mnt

root@ubuntu:/# ls
bin    dev   initrd.img  media  proc  run      srv  usr
boot   etc   lib         mnt    rofs  sbin     sys  var
cdrom  home  lib64       opt    root  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz

root@ubuntu:/# cd boot/grub/
root@ubuntu:/boot/grub# ls
gfxblacklist.txt  grubenv

root@ubuntu:/# umount /mnt/
umount: /mnt: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
root@ubuntu:~# update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

What do I have to do? I am unable to understand. Please guide me to boot grub rescue.
