Alert! Uuid=........ Does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Initramfs. Can't do much from here.

/Dev/sda1: label="Ubuntu 18_0" uuid="xxxx-xxxx" type="vfat" partuuid......
So, I'm stuck. Boot to windows, it instareboots after flashing a black screen. Try to boot off USB drive, problem is it just sits on a black screen with acpi and USB errors that I've flagged to ignore, because they aren't relevant, and happen on all Dell XPS. Just sits permanently on this screen, instead of launching Ubuntu.
This all happened because I ran my Ubuntu disk out of space. Not really, it had 5.1gb, but in ubuntus mind, it ran out. For all time, it warms that boot partition is running low, there are always about 4 to 5 gb of more unused space than the warning gives.
I'm not sure what to do. I cant edit files or mount my main drive in recovery mode, because it dumps to initramfs on hard drive, or fails to load the main gui on USB drive, and sits on meaningless non-terminal black screen with occasional soft error outputs.
Remember in your advice, I can't sudo, text edit, or anything.
Edit: now I found my way into USB Ubuntu with nomodeset. However, in disks, fdisk, install, the hard drive isn't detected! This is super sad. All the advice I find is for people who can already detect a drive to mount it. Nobody has the issue of not being able to detect at all. What steps can I take?
