[SOLVED] Grub error 22

[ep3w]

Thanks that worked perfectly! So just for my understanding, what happened was somehow the types of partitions got changed so grub wouldn't read it, or just read it offset? And changing the letters in testdisk just changed the type to primary, for example and this helped grub to read it in the correct way? Thanks again for the help!

That's great news it worked. I don't know what caused your partition table to become corrupted, but as you can see, testdisk can usually sort things out (thankfully). Somehow your extended partition swallowed your primary swap partition, so the swap partition was inside of your extended partition when it shouldn't have been. Testdisk just rebuilt your partition table to correctly show that the primary swap partition is outside of the extended partition like it should be. Anyway, cheers and have fun with Ubuntu.
