ubuntu boots to busybox after installation…help!?

hello i was wondering if anyone could help me with a linux/ubuntu problem.
i have been having alot of problems trying to install ubuntu onto my computer but i have made a little progress. my 750 gb seagate barracuda sata drive wasnt being detected when trying to install but i followed this guide and it has helped me a little:

following this made it possible for me to detect the hard drive and follow the installation but once its installed and i reboot the computer goes into busybox instead of ubuntu saying it has given up trying to load the root device. ive rebooted several times with no luck and when running the live cd it doesnt detect my hard drive either, even though i have installed it onto the drive. im not sure what to do, any advice would be helpful, thank you

also, these are the specs of my PC
Asus A8V-x MoBo
AMD athlon 64 X2 processor
GEforce 6800 Graphics Card
1gb RAM
