After boot password entry I can see the following on the screen:

mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory.
mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory.
mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory.
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found.
Try passing init=bootarg. 
then the busybox stuff. (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1 ubuntu 11) built-in shell (ash).

I saw this problem asked and solved for someone in 2010 but the instructions there didn't work for me.

ubuntux.org had the similar problem posted and somebody gave an equitable response,however when I tried it ,it gave nothing.was listed boot mounting failed. – user124969 Jan 25 at 22:20
every order starts with boot from live Ubuntu CD . I never had one in over two years. And the new one I just got in a magazine at the store does nothing. what next? – user124969 Jan 25 at 23:34
