I installed in ubuntu inside Windows XP. It works perfectly for 2 months. Recently I met with this problem:
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: no such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn’t have /sbin/init.
No init fount. Try passing init= bootarg.
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of build in commands
(initramfs)

Ubuntu forums members said use “fsck /dev/sda1 ” command after you boot with Live cd. I tried but it is failed.
Finally one of the other thread helped me to recover.
I planned to share my problem and solution with you. It will help you to recover the ubuntu if you meet with above problem.
Requirements:
- Ubutnu.iso file
- 2GB Pen Drive
With unetbootin or universal usb installer, extract iso inside pen drive.
Step 2:
Restart and boot with Pen drive by pressing F10(differs).
Run the ubuntu from Pen drive
Step 3:
click places in the top of the bar.Note:
I have installed the ubuntu in my Hard disk named as Ubuntu
Open the hard disk that you installed Ubuntu.
Sometimes you may installed ubuntu inside c drive itself. Find which is c drive and open it(for mounting).
Step 4:
Open the Terminal
type this command.
If you are hard disk name is “ubuntu”(ubuntu installed drive), then try this:cd /media
cd ubuntucd u*
cd disks
Now you are in this directory:
Type this command to work as root :/media/ubuntu/ubuntu/disks/
sudo su
Now type this command:
wait for a while.e2fsck -p ./root.disk
When it is finished working, type this command:
and wait for a while.e2fsck -f ./root.disk
Now restart.
Now you are able to boot with your ubuntu..
Enjoy.
