error: unknown filesystem Grub Rescue
Hi,
There are some threads with the same subject but instructions in those threads doesn't seem to solve my case. Please help. I've Win XP & Ubuntu 10 on my notebook. I uninstalled Ubuntu10 using wubi and removed the 30GB Ubuntu partition using a Disk Management software (one similar to Partition Magic. I can't recall the name). While doing this, I downloaded Ubuntu 11 using Wubi. I merged the cleared Ubuntu partition with existing windows partition. Ubuntu11 (Wubi) prompted to reboot to start installation. When I rebooted, it couldn't detect GRUB and entered grub rescue mode. My notebook doesn't have a CD ROM. So I've no way to boot using Windows XP CD or Ubuntu CD. In the "grub rescue" command, only "ls" works. "ls" returns (hd0), (hd0,7), (hd0,6), (hd0,5), (hd0,2) and (hd0,1) Any clues? Thanks, Sandeep |
What you really need is a Windows system rescue cd written to a USB stick.
It seems to me that grub was mistakenly written to the MBR. I am not that familiar with wubi, but this may help: Solution #2: Quote:
