If your hardware is capable of booting an Ubuntu Live CD (Desktop Edition), it would be really helpful to see the output of bootinfoscript.

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

Then we can diagnose and solve the problem.

I can guess that during installation, you install Grub to the wrong place.

The output of the boot info script will display your setup & boot process info. Without that info anyone is just blindly guessing as to what the issue may be.

Hello good folks of Ubuntu Forums,
I'm having the same 'error: no such partition. grub rescue>' after trying & failing to remove Kubuntu KDE and restoring back to default Gnome. I was running 10.10 dual-boot with xp but everything started going south after trying to delete an 'unknown' partition via My Computer>Manage. Long story short, i'm stuck on the grub error screen and your help would be highly appreciated. I booted through Ubuntu live and ran the bootinfo script as requested.

Thanks in advance.
