My ubantu with linux won't start/boot?

Question

I have a dell laptop with ubuntu linux. A day I tried to start it up and a black screen appeared that says:
---------
GNU GRUB version1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3

-Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
-Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
-Memory test (memtest86+)
-Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
---------
When I click the first one, a bunch of text appears like:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/8396a225...
failed: invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev 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 file system doesn't have requested /sbin/init
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash)
(initramfs)

When I enter 'help' a bunch more incomprehensable text appears. Whenever I press the enter key all that pops up is (intetramfs)
If anyone can make rhyme or reason out of this please, please help me out so it can boot up normally and i can be set. If there's some kind of special code I have to type in or something

The first message is important. It appears the main drive is failed, or the device name has been changed in fstab and is not pointing to the correct drive. Or you have changed where the drive connects.

you need a linux enthusiasts site, ubuntu is awkward when there are zero problems , when problems arise it is unfathomable and even simple problems seem to require complex solutions , based on unix it is no wonder it is awkward to use
