So I'm trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu and it installs good and everything and reboots and i choose to boot ubuntu but then it says that / cannot be mounted and /tmp/ is lost. Help. plox

I didn't understand a word. So basicly you want to install MS Windows 7 and Ubuntu on one HDD. Everything had installed successful. After that you was unable to boot the Ubuntu? What boot loader are you using(GRUB ? or the MS one don't know the name). Try running the PC with live ISO and the try to mount the / partition. If it's successful then probably the loader is ******* with you. If you get some error the probably the / is corrupted. Also you didn't say does Windows boot normally?

Well, that's 1 reason not to use Ubuntu. Now I'll be waiting until you post another help request about Ubuntu. I've already worked Ubuntu out of my system, experienced it's... Childish features? Don't think that accurately describes Ubuntu.

(Ubuntu market? lol, come on)

"Ubuntu is an ancient african word, meaning 'I can't configure Debian." Nothing else to say.

I recommend removing Ubuntu from your hdd and either:
Installing to a seperate hard drive or large flash drive

Or

Install ubuntu in virtual machine software (vmware, virtualbox etc.)

[inhaleyproject]

I recommend using something either than ubuntu.
or Installing to a seperate hard drive or large flash drive like DarkMuse said.
cuz, ubuntu sux.

Your grammar sucks :/

Ubuntu has mounting issues. For example, / will fail to mount, DVD's won't mount and autoplay like normal, /tmp fails to save anything etc. etc. But have you tried updating GRUB to the latest version? Also have you tried looking in Gparted and optionally mounting the whole system manually via init 3 (Ctrl+F2)?

I will try all of these things once I get back to my PC.

God, the Ubuntu hate -.-' This is exactly why people hate Linux.

Did any of the above suggestions work? Try to reinstall Ubuntu, maybe from a redone flash drive?

People don't hate Linux, just Ubuntu. I use a Linux distro, in case you didn't know. Crunchbang.

Refer to terminal in my screenshot.
