Installed ubuntu 20.04LTS a few days back. I cannot boot, every time i try it sends me into busybox with initramfs error. I have searched for the solution on this site but didn't find one.
i have typed exit but it doesn't show anything. I expected it would at least show some errors. I have used a live USB to access Gparted, but i dont see my hardrive on it.
I ran fdisk -l and df -h command and got this output :

I can see my hard drive in BIOS. But it's not showing up in Gparted and disk utility.
Is there a problem with the hardrive or is it software related problem ?
