Issue while booting from LiveUSB
Hello
I'm facing a strange problem. I had my laptop dual booted with Windows 7 and Mint 17.1 Till last week all was okay. Yesterday when I tried to boot into Windows via grub, grub froze at the keystroke. Since I couldn't boot into Windows, I made Windows as default in grub.cfg. I'm facing the same issue now trying to boot into mint. I defaulted the MBR to Windows using Windows recovery but when I tried to boot into mint using a live CD, mint is still not booting. I tried the following: 1. Boot via Bootrepair liveCd but the same issue: it did not boot 2. Removed HDD and tried booting but prompt keeps looping back to BIOS Can someone suggest what could be the issue? I am running a surface test on HDD to check for any issues.. Although I am not very sure but could it be related to BIOS or corrupt partition table? Can you point me to some good tool for creating new partition table? |
From the live environment, what is the output of:
Code:
# parted -l |
What's a boot-repair liveCD? I downloaded boot-repair during a LiveUSB Ubuntu session and ran it from there.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair |

Is there any tool which I can use to delete the existing partition table and create a new one.. I have tried resetting the boot and mbr using bootrec.exe but no improvement |
