I turned my laptop on and it randomly displayed the message:



(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.



I am using the same Ubuntu operating system that came with the laptop and have not tried to install anything new or change any settings so I don't know why it's displaying this message or how to solve it.



I am not using a USB, this was the original operating system provided on my laptop. My laptop is a Dell inspiron. I've looked at other similar posts but they all seem to be using USB's or CD's to try and install/change something whereas I've literally just turned it on as normal and it's not working.



All of my university work is on there so please help !
