Currently I am dual-booting Windows along side Ubuntu, but whenever I try to boot Ubuntu it displays the message “Unable to mount root fs on unknown block”. So, I checked the forms, and everyone said to boot to an older version by going through “advanced booting options”, but when I try that I get this message “error: you need to load the kernel first.” How do I fix these issues without the ability to boot into my OS?
