Hi,
I know this has been an often problem, but all the solutions I've googled won't do anything in my case...
I had dual boot Win7 / Ubuntu and I decided to uninstall Ubuntu with Wubi in the Windows "Programs and Feature".
After the restart I got the message:
error: no such partition
Entering rescue mode
The "ls" command lists:
(hd0) (hd0, msdos5) (hd0, msdos4) (hd0, msdos3) (hd0, msdos1)
Almost whatervercommand I try with the partitions, I get the "Filesystem is unknown". I cannot get into BIOS and I've tried boot discs with WinXP, couple of Win7 versions and USB with Ubuntu. Nothing works.
I've tried :
grub rescue > set root=(hd0,msdos2)
grub rescue > set prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub # or wherever grub is installed
grub rescue > insmod normal # if this produced an error, reset root and prefix to something else ..
grub rescue > normal
but it says "no such partition" after "insmod" command.
Thank you for your help - getting pretty desperate here...
