partitioning - Unable to boot after formatting extra hard drive



I have an extra hard drive that I wanted to repartition. My system is on a separate solid state drive. I booted off a USB drive and used disks to delete the existing partitions and repartition the drive.



When I try rebooting, Ubuntu is unable to start, and the computer enters emergency mode.



I would greatly appreciate any help trying to understand what happened and how to fix it.




After formatting the drive, /etc/fstab was no longer accurate. Once it was appropriately updated, everything started functioning normally again.
