Hi guys
Recently I installed linux mint 7 on my laptop with dual boot with vista but since yesterday, I can't boot in linux, but vista is booting successfully. There is a message that appears when bootings fails:
mount: mounting /dev/sda5 on /root failed : invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : no such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed : no such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed : no such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init/
No init found. Try passing init=bootary
Can someone tell me what to do in that case???? I have many important files in my linux partition, please help!!! thanks
