Hello, as a Christmas present for my mum I decided to give her my old laptop. Without thinking about having Grub and other Linux stuff on it I went into the Windows Recovery menu on my ACER ASPIRE ONE D150 NETBOOK WITH WINDOWS XP and allowed it to format my computer back to factory settings. It was not done from a disk, but by a partition as it doesn't have a CD drive.
I had a dual boot with win 7, Ubuntu, and Linux mint. I deleted the two partitions for Linux and Ubuntu and extended the windows partition back into the unallocated space.
My computer has (had) a dual boot of Ubuntu Precise and Windows 7. Recently, when I started the computer, grub gave me an error saying "Unknown filesystem", and sent me to grub rescue. I searched for solutions to this, and found this answer: Unknown filesystem error: grub rescue.
I am currently dual booting Win7 and Ubunto. I created a new partition, on my c drive, to install windows 8 on (i did not want to do the upgrade). I inserted the windows 8 cd and restarted my computer. no such partition/ grub rescue is all that comes up now. i loaded ubuntu from disk and did boot-repair.
I booted my computer today and found the Grub rescue command prompt. I have been given this computer and it has Linux and windows 7 on it, but I have only ever used the windows section. I have no idea about Linux at all, and was startled by this "Grub" thing.
It won't let me do anything in the command prompt, and i can't boot windows. I have a netbook, so there's no CD drive on the computer.
I dual boot LINUX and win seven. Recently I formatted my LINUX partition from within ms so I could install Ubuntu. I installed from the live CD and rebooted only to find no Ubuntu but grub listed my previous LINUX which of course didn't boot. Windows booted fine, so I formatted the LINUX partition again thinking to reinstall.
Hello, recently I updated Ubuntu and when I restarted my computer both my windows and linux partitions were greeted with a flashing _ (My Mac partition works just fine)
I've searched around for solutions but none have worked, in the attached is a copy of my RESULTS.txt.
Hey, everyone. I currently have a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04
Whenever I start my computer after booting windows previously I'm presented with a different GRUB than usual. I recently downloaded and installed linux kernel 3.6.0 and made some changes to GRUB using GRUB customizer. So I have been doing some tweaking with those files.
I had installed on my computer as a dual-boot: Debian Squeeze and Windows XP, so I decided to install Windows 8 just to test and then I would remove it and install in its place Debian Wheezy as dual-boot with Windows XP, that was already installed.
During the Debian Wheezy installation, I deleted the Windows 8 partition to install Debian W. on its place.
