I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 using WUBI and after installation when it booted it showed an error:

Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /.

There were three options:

press [I] to ignore, press [S] to skip mounting and press [M] to mount manually.

After I pressed I, it showed /tmp could not be mounted and my Ubuntu isn't booting.

You need to change the GRUB2 boot entry from "ro" to "rw",

e.g.

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=AAC884AC1F144321 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro   quiet splash $vt_handoff

to

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=AAC884AC1F144321 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk rw   quiet splash $vt_handoff

Press F10, you can boot in Ubuntu 14.04.

and you can fix GRUB2 boot entry:

sudo vi /etc/grub.d/10_lupin

Change the line:

linux   ${rel_dirname}/${basename} root=${LINUX_HOST_DEVICE} loop=${loop_file_relative} ro ${args}

to:

linux   ${rel_dirname}/${basename} root=${LINUX_HOST_DEVICE} loop=${loop_file_relative} rw ${args}

Regenerate GRUB2 boot entry:

sudo update-grub
