My laptop ran out of power and when I went to plug it in and power it on, Ubuntu no longer boots. I get directed to BusyBox built in shell that looks exactly like:



BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu4.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help'for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)


When I type in exit, the following output is dumped:



mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
/init: line 355: can't open /root/dev/console: no such file
_


I've had a look at this article to see if it could help me out, which prompted me to dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 | grep superblockwhich dumped the following output:



dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock


How can I boot my Ubuntu based OS again? I'm really not sure what steps to take in order to rectify this issue and regain access to my operating system. Any tips/tricks/help would be greatly appreciated.
