It looks like there is a problem with your disk because it isn't found 
in time. This could be due to a problem mentioned in the release notes 
for 9.04. From <http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904>:

| Boot failures on systems with Intel D945 motherboards
| 
| Users have reported slower than normal detection of SATA hard drives
| on systems with Intel D945 motherboards in Ubuntu 9.04. This may cause
| the system to drop to a busybox initramfs shell on boot with a "Gave
| up waiting for root device." error. Wait a minute or two and then exit
| the initramfs shell by typing 'exit'. Booting should proceed normally.
| If it doesn't, wait a bit longer and try again. Once the system boots,
| edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay=90 to the kernel stanza for
| your current kernel. (290153)

If motherboard is not the Intel D945 it may have the same problem 
anyway. If the above mentioned delay doesn't help, could you tell us a 
bit more about your system? From the screen shot I assume you installed 
Ubuntu under Windows, but I'm not sure.
