Ubuntu BusyBox initramfs Error 14.04
Suddenly after shutting down Ubuntu and when reopenning, I get prompted to one shell of BusyBox. I only had a set of options in help there.
I tried to follow this solution: Boot drops to a (initramfs) prompts/busybox
I got a USB pen-drive and it has ISO of Ubuntu. I have selected "Try Ubuntu".
However, my Ubuntu is installed in an external hard disk (connected to the laptop via another USB port, other than the USB Pen drive), and I have Windows 8 installed by default in my laptop (in the internal hard disk). So when I am running the following command.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted -l
Model: ATA ST1000LM024 HN-M (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B

1 16.4kB 64.0GB 64.0GB primary fat32 boot, lba
None of this is actually my external hard disk in which my Ubuntu 14.04 is installed.
How can I solve this?

So your external disk is not even detected?

Yeah. That's what I am feeling that it's not detected when I am running the "Try Ubuntu" but I can boot from the external hard disk.

Just remove the ext2fsd 0.68 from windows. and fix the Ubuntu by any of the method you like on this page ( I go with fsck /dev/sdaX, where "X" is your partition where is Linux install)
and the problem will solved.
