I rebooted now showing the following message: grub prompt


I formatted my netbook and want to put a new program on it, and when I rebooted it is now displaying the following message: "GNU GRUB version 0.97 (631k lower / 2085696k upper memory) [Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. TAB lists possible command completions. "What should I do?

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

Per the rules all member-created content should be in English.

You might have deleted the partitions but the boot loader (GRUB) is still in the MBR. It can't find information it needs from the /boot directory and defaults to a command line prompt.

What do you mean my new program? If a new version of linux post the distribution/version. If you want to install a new operating system you need to either insert a flash drive or DVD disc that you created with the installer/live version and reboot the PC selecting it as the boot device.

Please use English.

We need to understand what you are trying to accomplish, what is the end goal.

E formatei ele só que quando iniciei ele está exibindo a seguinte mensagem: "GNU GRUB versão 0.97 (631k inferior / 2085696k de memória superior) [Edição de linha semelhante a BASH é suportada. TAB lista possíveis conclusões de comando." O que devo fazer?

I have asked you twice to use English and therefore I am closing this thread.

If you want to install Windows you need to download an install image and write it to a USB flash drive. Without knowing the make/model of laptop we can not tell what you ask is going to work.
