http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, the other threads I've seen about this were about deleted partitions. I deleted a partition but I still have active linux And windows partitions. Is there any way I can get back to the grub screen for my working partitions or do I need to boot from a disk? (I don't have it with me.) Thanks! PS chainloader gets me "unknown command" (Hardware)

Boot windows from grub 34 weeks 2 days ago

I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my hard disk. I had installed Ubuntu using Wubi. To uninstall Ubuntu I deleted the Ubuntu partitions from Windows 7 Disk Management. When I re-boot my computer it shows grub rescue>. What do I need to do to re-gain access to Windows? I do not have a Windows 7 DVD. Commands like rootnoverify, chainloader do not work in grub rescue.

Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for my English. I got this problem and I hope you can help me :)

Hello,

I tried: a) running disk management on Windows XP. There, I deleted all the partitions that Windows stated was unknown and did not belong to it. However, then I got some black screen saying "grub, no partition" when I tried rebooting my PC.

b) running the installation CD for Xubuntu, but it clearly does not have an "Uninstall" option.

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

i have installed windows 7 in my 1st partition and ubuntu in my 4th partition. i was doing some partition managing stuff.

Ubuntu 10.0Deleted Grub 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi guys,

My pc has partitions:

1=XP 2=7 3=Ubuntu 10.0

I deleted win7 by formating partition#2 and I reinstalled Windows 7. The problem is that now Grub doesn't work. I thought Grub always resides on Partition#1 but I guess I was wrong. How can I fix Grub? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
