Boot drops to a (initramfs) prompts/busybox

[pdbg]

Hi,

I have installed Ubuntu 16.10 using wubi1610r319.exe and was installed successfully. I used the os for almost 7 days and then on boot drops to a busybox. I installed ubuntu almost five times but the issue persists.

My Hardware and Operating System Configuration:

• Model: Dell Latitude E5470
• CPU: Core i7
• Storage: SSD 500 GB
• RAM: 16GB DDR4

Please do help. Let me know in case if you need further information.

Thanking you,
Prakash

Let me know in case if you need further information.

Busybox should display error messages. e.g. here it displays "Windows is hibernated."

If no message appears, try to leave initramfs shell with
exit
In most cases it displays mount errors with additional information e.g.
mounting /dev/sda2 on /isodevice failed

Then try to find the affected device with
blkid

A helpful command for initramfs shell is also
reboot
to reboot your system.

Some busybox reasons of other users in the past:

• Windows was hibernated
• ubuntu folder on Windows was compressed
• Windows disk was converted to Dynamic Disk
• There was a copy of folder ubuntu on another Windows drive which was used instead of right folder.

The issue was because of windows hibernate. I turned off hibernation and Ubuntu works as expected.

Thanks a ton.

Thanking you,
