After recently doing a fresh install of Ubuntu (I had an obsolete version) I realized that for some reason I made the Ubuntu partition too small. So I used a partitioning software on XP to resize the Ubuntu partition. It told me I needed to restart for the changes to take effect. I didn't do it right away but when I did I didn't get past the startup HP screen. I received the following message:
GRUB loading.
error: unknown filesystem
grub rescue> _(blinking underscore)
Now I can at least figure this out if I could load the live cd, which I cannot as for some reason it refuses to enter setup, no matter how many times I press the key. (edit: I got it to load from cd though still not sure how to solve it. )So it's not set to boot from cd and refuses to boot anything else.
I have XP and Karmic on dual boot on an hp pavilion 533w. (sort of old)
What can I do?
