Target file system doesn't have /sbin/init.

No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

Busytbox v1.10.2(Ubuntu 1:1.102-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)"

This is the black screen-white texted message I get on my monitor after the POST. I can't work within the OS other than what appears to be one of the built in command lines. Typing help, brings up a list of incomprehensible programming paths to type.

Since I couldn't load the OS from the hard drive, I tried to reformat, but unfortunately I believe the disk is damaged so when I tried to boot from CD I had problems like freezing and inactivity. I am gonna burn a new disk and try to boot from that later.

This all started because I was messing around in Gparted. I think I deleted a partition without making a new one.

Forget it, it's all good. I ended up just making another copy elsewhere and I reinstalled it with no problems.
