command line - Switched Automatic mount for my only partition with a boot

I have linux installed and partitioned on my internal hard drive. I was working on setting up a boot able usb drive to run Kali linux and I messed up somewhere to where I cant boot.


I don't care about the usb drive anymore but rather I'm stuck in recovery mode.
I know where my boot drive is at but i was ignorant and turned the automatic mount option off right before I tried to boot the secondary linux from the usb drive.


When Ubuntu boots. It says mount point mnt/Generic_usb12342345356324etcetc is not found or doesn't have a boot. Unless I can get my computers info from the recovery cmd then all I know for sure is....


Dell latitude.... its more then 10 years old but was my fathers whom is the Head of IT department where he works. SO its still a pretty decent machine


I have some programming background but just super basic and kinda computer smart so you don't have to give me the complete dummy version lol.


I do know that i could just wipe the drive clean and start from scratch but I am trying to learn what I had done wrong. I post this in search of help and understand you will need more information.
