Why is this an emergency?

That error message indicates that the system cannot find the disk holding your boot partition. What, if anything changed before this error started happening? Also, have you Googled this error? There is plenty of relevant information out there to help you understand what is happening here.

The important question is what did you do while using Backtrack?

Some things should not be played around with without proper knowledge.
Linux and especially Backtrack is not nearly as forgiving as Windows.
You should definately know what you are doing.

Boot a live iso from CD (or USB) and check the /etc/fstab.
I'm guessing there is a typo in there since it tries to mount 'none' from /dev.
This could be your swap partition since that's (by default) the only one with a 'none' mount point.

Good luck.

well i already formated my drive but i think that the problem was that i added ubuntu repositories on sources list and updated

Well that might have messed something up really bad.
Unfortunately sometimes one have to make a bad experience in order to learn.
