My computer does not have a working CD rom drive, so I had booted from USB (used UNetbootin to make the USB) to install Ubuntu initially. I had Ubuntu working on my laptop (Gateway 7330gz), started messing around with it, and decided I wanted to start fresh again.
Some days ago I'm working on windows and decide update something of the system, then when I reboot I see that the grub disappeared and my Laptop doesn't start, and the screen say grub rescue, ok, I say, I will to reinstall the grub and problem fix, but when I see the partitions with the command -$ sudo fdisk -l I didn't see the ubuntu partition, then go to the partition manager and see a big free
hi all,
While formatting my notebook, i accedentely unplugged it before it was finished :(, so now i'm getting the error "Error: No such partition (Grub rescue)", doesn't matter if i boot from the hard drive or a USB stick with Ubuntu on it (tried with windows too) i always get the same message!
All the solution i have found so far include booting from a live CD wich isn't an option f
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.
Hi,
I'm a pretty new Ubuntu user, and I can't figure out what to do from searching other threads.
Anyway, here's my situation:
I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a partition, and OSX 10.7 on another, and it worked great. Then after I installed 10.8, my Ubuntu partition no longer worked.
Hey guys, I know there is a million posts out there on this same topic, but not one explains in detail what to do if you do not have the CD/DVD that came with the PC.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A505 running Windows 7 on Intel Core 2 Duo. I had partitioned my 500 GB hard drive and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on 95 GB.
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 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.
i have installed windows 7 in my 1st partition and ubuntu in my 4th partition. i was doing some partition managing stuff.
