Problem with 'Bootup

T0M0 · 1 Mar 2010 at 20:32

Hi all,

Think I may have fudged my hard drive.

Recently installed Ubuntu on a new partition. Went into disk management in Windows 7 to delete this partition so I would only be down to the one partition (my Windows one), now when I boot up I am greeted with ...

Loading Operation System ...
GRUB loading.
error: unknown filesystem
grub rescue>

It shut down fine. Just now won't boot back up in Windows.

Have a messed it up?

Cheers,
Tom

Sound like you might have confused GRUB.

Try booting from a "Super grub" CD/USB drive. You can use this tool to fix GRUB problems.

Hi mate,

Didn't realise GRUB was Linux!

What I did was delete the partition in Windows, but then on bootup, the system couldn't find the file because I deleted it.

Re-installed Ubuntu, then followed this guide to uninstalling it and allocating all partitions back to my Windows one - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113630

Cheers for the reply.

Tom
