I just uninstalled ubuntu 10.10 and it worked fine but now when i rebooted I get an error saying:error: no such partition grub rescue>
I know that you can fix this by using a windows 7 disk and booting from that but i don't have my windows 7 disk because it came on my computer.Is there any way I can fix this error without a windows 7 disk?
i hav hp mini netbook and used to dual book ubuntu and windows 7, i shrinked some partitions to make swap partition for ubuntu., but after restarting netbook error shows" grub rescue no such partition" ,, after this i tested system memory and hard disk and get 100 % ok,, but when i use bootable flash drive to install Windows 7, the setup window is not loaded, only loading and loading..., what may cause this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI dual boot ubuntu/BTU bistro and win 7. They are all on different partitions. I had an extra partition for storage that I changed the file system so it could be read. Doing this I believe changed the order of my drives. Now on boot I get "unknown filesystem" grub rescue. I cannot load the bios or boot from cd.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS 430 that came with Windows Vista and a Windows 7 upgrade disk. I set up my main hard drive with Windows 7 on one partition, Linux on another partition, and a third partition for storage. I recently needed more space for Windows, and no longer needed Linux, so using the Windows 7 disk manager I deleted the Linux partition and extended the Win partition using the newly unallocated space.
Upon restarting my machine, I am no longer able to boot into windows but instead am presented with the message:
GRUB Loading, please wait...
Error 22
I have a Windows 7 disk that I am using to access the repair utility, which I have run countless times. I have tried severel of the tutorials to rebuild BCD and FixMBR, etc etc. Frankly I am getting lost in all the commands and not even sure what does what anymore!
I'm currently downloading it & spent the weekend creating a dual boot XP/Ubuntu. I don't want to mess up my system, so can I install 7 into a flash drive (usb)?
Other than that, if I created a new partition through gparted and booted from the 7 iso disk, would my GRUB notice this & respond?
So I am having a problem and I am hoping that someone can help. On my desktop I recently installed Win7 on a 1TB internal drive. I installed it on separate drive then I had my original WinXP32 installed. So I could test out Win7 before fully transferring over. Well it worked just fine for that last 2 months and I finally decided to get ride on my older WinXP32 OS and run Ubuntu 9.10 on that drive.
After installing Ubuntu on my old WinXP drive (that was the original drive on my PC) I no longer can run Win7 I just get this Error (Grub Error 17) when I try to boot my system, but I can still run Ubuntu. If there is anyone out there that could give me some advice on how to get my Win7 OS to run again I would love some advice.
I'm trying to install windows 7 home premium on my hubbys laptop. He had Linux Ubuntu on it, which he wanted wiped. I tried just installing windows7 over the top of it but it wouldn't work...so silly me thought I'd have a go at wiping it myself!
Now I can't do anything and all I get is the following error...
Grub loading stage 1.5
grub loading please wait...
Error 17
Nothing else comes up at all and I can't boot any disc at all
I've already installed windows7 ultimate on my own computer but I had my pc partitioned with ubuntu and windows and (with some help) was able to install over the top of everything with no problems. Don't know what on earth has gone wrong this time.
I had Backtrack and Windows 7 in separate partitions, i just deleted the partion of Backtrack in Windows 7 using diskmgmt. When i restarted the computer it is showing GRUB loading stage 1.5 error 17

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just recently returned from a trip out of town and found when I tried to boot my computer I had a Grub boot error 15, file not found. I've never heard of grub4dos before I began trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer and found that it is used for dual booting. I run windows 7 ultimate x64 and have never dual booted my machine. While my laptop itself is not password protected, I do require a password to get into windows.
get around the required password to install grub4dos, install linux, then copy my hard-drive, leaving it useless when they're done? If not, is there some other way, a virus or trojan, that could cause windows to fail and revert to grub? I did remove my hard-drive, put it into an external case and try to look at it on another computer. In the disk manager it shows that it's healthy, has 465gb avail and the format is RAW.
my dell computer write GRUB LOADING, then error: no such partition

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe other day my computer was infected with "FakeSysDef" virus. "Microsoft Safety Scanner" detected it, and cleaned it(MS Security essentials and MS Malicious Program Removal Tool both failed though). I didn't realize that a browser hijack/redirector was left behind, so in the middle of the night another virus named "Privacy Protection" installed itself. Malwarebytes cleaned that one up. But the hijacker was still there. "Spybot" Hijack tool fixed that.Now my computer is clean and useable, but it's a buggy mess. Alot of things don't work right anymore.
*My "all programs" list in control panel is blank(programs are still installed though).
*I can't get a desktop background picture to stay.
*Some installed programs aren't listed in the "programs&features" list, so I don't know how to delete them.
*Other programs like Bing won't delete because it says they are running(but they're not).
*Some of my picture and music folders are locked, but I can get into them through shortcuts from other parts of the computer.
My laptop died but the HDD was okay. I've taken the laptop HDD out, bought an USB/caddy for it and attached it to another laptop as an external drive.The trouble is the new machine sees the external drive, but all its seeing is system reserved and the reserved part of the HDD is tiny. So its not the total drive size and defintley not the data I need to rescue. How would I see the whole drive and access the data?

but if i leave my Windows 7 install disk in i can boot my Windows 7, but thats the only way.

Ok so I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu desktop installed on my HDD. I used gparted and deleted my ubuntu partition and set it NTFS. But I forgot about the GRUB loader. Now when I boot up, I get the "error 22".
Anyways, how do I set it so I can just boot Windows 7?
Also! I'm on a netbook so it has to be a USB method.
I am running an ASUS U-47 laptop and am trying to access the system recovery options. However, when I try and access them, which I have done from both the recovery partition as well as a system repair disc, I am only directed to the restore to jfactory preset wizard, which offers me three options; restore windows to entire HD, just this partition, or 2 partitions. I am trying to access the bootsect.exe in order to remove grub, and as far as I can see, the only way to do that is through the command prompt in the system recovery environment.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is a copy and paste of my problem.I haven't messed with ubuntu in a long while, because of this problem. what happened was i had ubuntu dual installed alongside my windows 7. I had grub as its main boot loader. I can't remember if i did the partitioning myself that time or not, pretty sure I did. However, for whatever reason, my grub loader failed once and it caused me to have to reset the mbr via a windows 7 disk. after I did this and ever since, the partitions I had set for ubuntu (a whopping 50gb) have been invisible to me. I KNOW they are there because my windows 7 says that my HDD says it is only like 418 in size. Clearly the memory is gone SOMEWHERE, but the partitions are not visible in either windows' partitioning tool, or when I load up a boot disk and use something like gparted.

I have a Samsung N120 Netbook that came with Windows XP. I tried to run Linux Mint as a 2nd operating system, but I kept getting errors and I became frustrated with it. Ever since then I have only used XP, but every time the computer starts up it goes into Grub and I have to choose to enter XP. Basically what I am looking to do is remove all traces of Mint and Grub and I suppose XP for that matter and upgrade to Windows 7. What is the best way to do that considering I have a netbook which does not have a CD/DVD drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI originally had windows 7 professional 64 bit on my laptop. I had a 10 Gb partition, which I divided in SWAP and / mount to install Ubuntu Linux. My computer now loads into Grub loader. All is well, its just now I want to get rid of Linux. (I will install it on desktop and mess around with it there.) I wanted to know how to get rid of the Grub loader.
I googled it and found that you can restore the windows (didn't find anything for windows 7) bootloader using the installation disk and going into repair. The instructions however were all for windows xp and few for vista. I want to know if it will work for Windows 7. I don't have a windows 7 DVD. I have a Windows 7 professional upgrade disk 64 bit. My Vista came pre loaded on the laptop, and i have recovery disks for it. Will I be able to do it from the Windows 7 upgrade disk.
I got new laptop few days before. yesterday i was making 2 more partition. my C drive in which windows 7 has been installed had 500GB of space. so by using external application, i had decreased its size to 300GB. but from that time, some files has been corrupted. I cannot access that files now.. not even C drive.. I dont have recovery disc.
