linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.1 installed in my intel i3 4gig DDR Sony Vaio E-series laptop. Both operating system were working fine. Only problem that I used to have was the sound didn't use to play when I boot through Ubuntu. Due to that, I formatted the corresponding drive from Windows in which there was Ubuntu installed. I used "diskmgmt.msc" to delete the partition and then format it. The format was successful and when I restarted my computer, this error was displayed:- error: unknown filesystem grub rescue > Windows didn't load at all. I used to have multiple boot grub men (HowTos)

Unknown filesystem error 35 weeks 2 days ago

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 installed Ubuntu successfully by using acpi=off and nolapic. When I booted into the installed operating system all that the screen showed was several multi colored bars(This must have been my 10,000th installation attempt.)

I decided to get rid of Ubuntu by simply deleting the partition and re partitioning it as a blank drive.

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.

[ubuntu] Grub Rescue Help? 1 year 5 weeks ago

Okay, so I split my HD into two partitions, my original windows 7 partition and an Ubuntu partition. I needed to delete my ubuntu partition briefly, but now when I try to boot my computer it comes up with "error no such partition grub rescue."
