I have Dell Inspiron 1525; installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and everything seemed well. Then did a reboot and tried to get into Vista - but I get a black screen with working cursor and nothing else.
I tried Boot Repair and it said:
Boot successfully repaired.
Mythbuntu 12.04 - I attempted to move one data drive to a different sata port, now the system doesn't boot (all drives are back to the original sata ports).
I ran boot-repair (using 12.04 live CD, ran the recommended repair) No change, the system doesn't boot.
I can boot the system off a rescue CD, choosing to boot off the correct boot drive.
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.
Following a fresh install of 12.04 on a dual HDD dual boot system first boot brought up Grub Rescue.
I installed Boot Repair in a live CD and ran the recommended repair. Boot Repair indicated a successful repair.
Upon reboot there is no entry for Win XP.
Gparted shows sda as full as it was before installing 12.04.
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
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?

full message is as follows:

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.
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.
I am currently trying to get my grub back. I have tried everything from reinstalling, to boot-repair, and even super boot manager. Nothing seems to work.
I have created a log with boot-repair:

Any ideas?
Thanks!
