First time installing Ubuntu (or any distro) on an HDD. Last night I successfully installed and was using Ubuntu for a while and today I got an error when booting up. I could just reinstall it but that's kinda lame and I want to fix it myself (with your guys' help) if possible. Currently stuck in initramfs, unable to boot like a sad loser.
What I've tried:
- Check the System Configuration -> SATA Operation on my mobo. It is already in AHCI.
- I tried comparing
blkid output with etc/fstab/ however either my fstab file is empty or I am not able to print it to the console properly in initramfs. (pretty sure it's empty tho)
Here is what it looks like:

Hardware and other OS Information:
500GB SSD: Windows 10 -
1TB HDD: Windows 10 -
80GB HDD: random pictures -
80GB HDD: Ubuntu
(Yes I have 2 80GB HDDs and 2 installations of Windows 10, pls no roasting ;( )
also note that yesterday I spent an hour configuring nvidia drivers because I have a geforce 1660 ti, I managed to get my GPU working correctly but I read somewhere that this error may related to proprietary drivers so I thought I should mention it.
I booted into Windows to check if the drive is dead or not however Windows Disk Management shows that the drive is alive and recognized.
I am nowhere close to good with linux and am unfamiliar with the shell commands. Any help is appreciated.
