kernel offset disabled kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Hardware: MSI all-in-one 24GE 2QE-015US
Disk: Kingston SSD V300 240GB SATA III SV300S37A/240G

Previously I was running a Cinnamon XFCE distribution. I had some issues installing it as well (probably the same one), a solution was to run under full HD encryption.
1. Made Ubuntu 16.04.01 live disk
2. Booted into live mode -- it did not detect that I had a system installed
3. Started default install
4. After reboot: kernel offset disabled kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I cannot boot from HD. When I boot from live USB it pops a menu, selecting anything off that menu:
"Try Ubuntu" --> kernel offset disabled kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
"Install Ubuntu" --> kernel offset disabled kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
"Check disk" --> kernel offset disabled kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
"Boot from first hard disk" -->

Booting from local disk...
Boot Error
Error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1)
grub rescue> ls (hd0)/boot
error:unknown filesystem
. . .
grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot
Error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'


So Live USB is pretty useless. It even says so in Help: "There is no dedicated rescue mode on this disk."

Try holding 'c' when the liveCD is booting. Just had this problem with Ubuntu 16 on Toshiba Satellite.

Hold 'c' it should load language menu.
