I'm on a Eee PC and I am running Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04. I'm starting a big project tomorrow and I wanted to cleanly reinstall both operating systems. After entering the pre-install Windows environement, I let my system run as per usual, however, after I returned to my desk I found a blank screen with error: no such partition
and a GRUB rescue command prompt. After digging around a bit online I found ls
which returns (hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,3) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
and set
which returns prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub && root=hd0,5
I have Ubuntu on a flash drive, but I can't get that to work because every time I boot up it goes straight to the error screen.
unfortunately, it doesn't. // all i can see when i turn the computer on is "error: no such partition" && the "grub rescue" command prompt // i'm posting this from another box // any ideas on what i can do from the command line to get into my system ? – flash – 2010-08-14T01:06:16.527
