Sounds like it's not finding your main partition
IIRC you'll want to boot from a live cd and edit /etc/fstab so it's not looking for the right disk. If you want you can revert to the older system (i.e. sda1; sda2; sdb1; etc) which still works fine. UUIDs are theoretically better (as they don't change when you add/remove disks/usbs etc) but fall over sometimes - like this!
TBH it's been a while since I've done this so I suggest you do a little googling to confirm I'm not leading you astray; but IIRC you'll want to edit /etc/fstab and either change references to /dev/disk/by-uuid/574707ab-c5c5-4886-b289-7446226fdd90 to be /dev/sda (in your case - I can see that from the output you pasted above) or get the new UUID using the 'blkid' command.
Hi, I managed to fix the
Hi,
I managed to fix the issue using Boot-Repair-Disk http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/
I found someone else had posted the same issue and someone recommended this product.
Before I did anything I made a complete VM backup and also did a snapshot of the VM.
Thanks for your response.

Glad you fixed it!
