Failed 16-04 Upgrade recovery question

[Jay Ridgley]

I was attempting to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 when the system reported 
an error message and QUIT!

I was using the upgrade tool that is an option in the Software Updater 
(the system was up to date and all critical data is backed up).

I created an CDROM from the Ubuntu site. WQhen I attempt to do an 
install I get a message that there is no root partition. But there is 
not an option of creating one either. The device entry contains the 
correct drive info but the partition table space is BLANK.

Ideas for recovery appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay
