Stories similar to Not booting into grub (boot-repair log included)

Dual boot system, Win XP and Ubuntu 11 with Grub, working fine. Update from 11.10 to 12.04 runs smooth, at end I reboot. At boot, Grub menu won't appear, I get: error: out of partition grub rescue>

Tried the boot-repair disk.

I recently upgraded to 12.04. After booting I only got the grub shell with no kernels loaded. I tried running boot repair. It told me I use GPT and would need to create a new grub-boot partition. I did this and ran boot repair again successfully. However I now get only a blinking underscore on boot and don't even get a grub shell. Any ideas?

Hello, I've just tried upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10, when the system restarted the "grub rescue" prompt was displayed. I've tried booting into ubuntu through a live usb, installed boot repair and run it, but I am getting the following

Ok, so I'm having this problem. I have also seen something called Boot Repair

Any help?

Earlier today i installed ubuntu 12.10 beta. Grub wasn't booting, but just going directly to my primary OS Windows 7. I assumed i had partitioned incorrectly, because partitioning isnt my strong suit. I used boot repair because it was well recomanded off a live usb. Afterwards, grub appeared, but i only had options for Ubuntu, Advanced Ubuntu Option, and my hidden windows 7 recovery partition.

So, I don't know what exactly how I managed to delete the MBR record on windows partition. But let me explain what I did next, I ran the ubuntu boot repair tool and now Windows is not even listed in my grub loader.

So I went and booted with windows cd and choose repair. Then I ran ubuntu boot repair again via live cd. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1426181/. Still no luck.

not able to boot into window 7. I am naive in ubuntu usage. Pls guide immediately. The following link a got after boot repair. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218634/ full message is as follows: you can now reboot your computer. Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda (500GB) disk!

The boot files of [The OS now in use - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS] are far from the start of the disk.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my computer without problems, but after rebooting i got the following error:

Error: No such partition grub rescue>

I am a novice with ubuntu and any detailed instructions to the problem will be highly appreciated.

I ran boot repair as per the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair boo

So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTE 64-bit using the DVD. I followed LinuxBSDos guide for dual booting Windows 7 (first installed) and Ubuntu 12.04 (second install) on 2 Separate Hard drives.

I had Windows 7 Pro installed on /dev/sda1.
