After a Clean Install I get Error 15: File Not found (Solved)

[Harley51]

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy 64 Bit. After instlling when I reboot I get the message Error 15: file not found.

"Error 15: File not Found" sounds like a legacy grub error message. Ubuntu has been using grub 2 for years now. You need to tell us more about your system, what other operating systems you have installed and how grub is installed.

EDIT: Legacy grub was used in Ubuntu up until Jaunty, 9.04. Is your 13.10 system one originally installed as 9.04 or earlier and then upgraded repeatedly until now?

Windows 7 Pro (sda1) Installed Ubuntu 13.10 (sdb1 Second Drive) Grub is installed to the root directory on sdb1. If I boot directly to drive two I get the error: unknown file system. Entering Rescue Mode. Then I get grubrescue>. I have also done clean installs. I reformatted the second drive and setup new partition's and all this started.

Have a look here:

You could try the recommended repair but it might be better if you create a boot info summary and post it here first.

How do I create a boot info summary.

[coffeecat]

From what I remember of Boot Repair is that you click on the Bootinfo summary button and it will give you the URL of a pastebin page to take a note of. The pastebin will contain your boot info summary and you can post the URL of the pastebin page.

Thanks I'll try this out later today after I get home.

Thank you coffeecat. Your solution solved my problem. Once Ubuntu got fixed the rest loaded and ran just fine.
