Hello,
I have deleted my Ubuntu 13.10 partition from Windows 8 but the Ubuntu partition that I deleted was the primary partition and now I'm stuck in Grub Rescue. My laptop is a SONY VAIO VPCSB. It came preinstalled with Windows 7 but I made ubuntu my primary OS. and windows 7 is no longer being used on my laptop.
I have a USB with a 13.10 ISO loaded onto it and I would like to install 13.10 as my primary partition once again. In the BIOS of my laptop I have External Device Boot enabled and for my boot priority I have it as External Device as being the top priority, followed by Internal Optical Disc Drive. When I boot up my laptop with the USB inside I find myself in grub rescue with
grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1)
I feel extremely silly ending up in this situation and I will not be managing my linux partitions externally again.
Thanks!
