Help to fix netbook

rctneil · 3 Jul 2010 at 00:25

Hey,
I just deleted my Ubuntu partition from my netbook so I was just left with my windows one. I did this partition magic and now when I turn on the netbook I get an error stating:

error: unknown filesystem.
grub rescue>

Any ideas how I can remove this and just get it to boot into Windows normally?

I did the same last weekend, if you've got the Windows disk handy its an easy fix:

I just tried that. By clicking the startup repair option it finds the windows installation but doesn;t find anything wrong with it. Using command manager and the script written on that page it scans but doesn;t find the windows installation?

Follow the instructions in method 1 but issue the following at the command prompt:

Code:

bootrec /fixmbr
