Sorry about that, I should have known better. After I booted using "linux
emergency" I proceded to tytpe the command "mount / -o remount,rw" and the
eror I got is the following:

mount: could not open /proc/partitions, so UUID and LABEL conversion cannot
be done.
mount: no such partition found.

I hope it helps you help me.
