Thanks for your response. The issue is I am not able to copy the files back. Says file or directory not found. The files are there. The ls command lists each file and says it is not found. From...

On further analysis I find that I am unable to even list the files or even copy them back to ubuntu (14.04) from the NAS drive. When I stepping into the bottom most directory and do 'ls -l', I need a...

I had a disk read error at boot time. Per suggestion on a different thread, I booted from a Live USB and moved the data to a NAS drive.

Some of the data are mail files from evolution -- i.e., the...

I was able to move stuff off of the hard disk. Thanks for the suggestions. I have had trouble with some of the email data. I think this is a separate issue, which I will post as a different thread.

If I have email on evolution, would I be able rto get it off when I log in through a live CD? In order to be able to export the email to a transferable form, I need to log in to the hard drive...

Thank you. Will try.

When I am booting into 14.04 I am getting a Add. sense unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed. Is there a way to get around this problem to boot into the laptop, or do I need to first...

This morning I find that my bootloader is missing.
I tried to use boot-repair, but it did not work. Wanted me to create a small boot partition. I already have two partitions with the bios-grub flag...

I am still hoping for an answer from this forum ..

Thanks.

I installed 12.10 on a new laptop that runs a Ralink 539b network controller. I moved to 12.10 after finding that 12.04 doesn't seem to have any wireless connectivity at all. The new install...

You are correct in that I may never know the definitive answer. By the way, I had to reinstall the nvidia driver, and a whole bunch of other stuff even though I didn't have reinstall 12.04 again...

As I mentioned earlier, I reinstalled 12.04.
2 days ago, I had a power outage for several minutes, and the problem re-occurred.

So I tried the suggestion by WinuxUser. This did not work. I then...

I had already reinstalled, but thanks for the suggestion.

I decided to reinstall from scratch as your earlier suggestion about efi did not work. Thanks again for everything.

Will try it. Thanks for all your time/help.

It is not a macbook, but it is a newer motherboard -- about 9 months old. It is a asrock p67 extreme4 that takes in a intel i7 2600k chip.

Here are some additional considerations:

When the live flash drive boots, I see this flash by very fast: error "prefix" is not set.

The GNU GRUB Verison for the flash drive is 1.99-21ubuntu3...

It did not work. The commands did not throw an error, but behavior on reboot is unchanged.

I ran the commands one after the other, by manually typing them, and using a <Return> after each one.

Ii am amenable to suggestion on the stylistic side. But I would also appreciate learning what I did wrong on the substantive side. What could I be missing?

and this is the original text file ..


Boot Info Script 0.61 [1 April 2012]


============================= Boot Info Summary: ===============================

=> No...

Sorry about the text file.
I tried this:

sudo mount /dev/sda2 -t ext4 /mnt for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done sudo chroot /mnt sudo grub-install /dev/sda ...

I am not sure what you mean by tags.

I tried what you suggested.

"sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt" This command did not work, because the command needed me to provide file system type. And since...

Here is the RESULTS.txt file from running bootinfoscript.

Thanks for the help.

I will go home, try it, and post the output here. But I have another machine that is setup identically, and I have no problem booting into that machine. Thanks for your response.
