Stuck in Initramfs

HDD also has some bad sectors.
I just wanna recover my data.
Doesn't Gparted (from live dvd/usb) really recognize any partitions. Maybe bad sectors have broken gpt/mbr
You can try to recover data by these instructions
1. Create dvd/usb boot media if you don't have one already.
2. Boot your pc/laptop from live install media and not from the HDD.
3. Try to copy (or move) your files to safe device like working usb stick or external HDD/SSD if possible
4. If not possible then open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gpart" and enter Y if prompted
5. run same command again it shouldn't take more than 5 seconds because you have installed it already if it takes more than 5 seconds then you failed the step 4.
6. open Gparted and select "attempt data rescue" from "device"
7. press "OK"
8. Wait it can take up to 24hours in some cases but often should be done in 4 hours
9. Then you have temporarily mounted filesystem do step 3
10. Make sure you remember to make proper backups in future.
11. Use your laptop HDD only for backups/storing not important data because it may destroy your data!

Please ask me or someone else to explain these instructions if you don't understand.
