    Grub "no module name found" after reboot

    So I have Windows 7 installed in my machine. I went ahead and installed ubuntu server on another partition. After the installation I was able to either boot to Windows 7 or Ubuntu server through GRUB. But after shutting down my pc, and this morning turning it on, it gave:

    Booting from lcoal disk...
    GRUB loading.
    no module name found
    Aborted. Press any key to exit.
    And GRUB won't give any options or anything, like if GRUB got corrupted and now I cannot get into any of my OS's.

    Any ideas?

    Get GAG Bootloader. You can probably best get it from the SystemRescueCD. Install that as your bootloader instead of GRUB.

    @LucasG download Super Grub Disk, burn cd, boot with it and you should be able to start Ubuntu. Then you should go back to the grub legacy, and then apply the method described here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/WindowsErasesGrub.

    Have the same issue

    I get this...

    no module name found
    Aborted. Press any key to exit.
    Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.35
    Copyright (C) 1997-2009, Intel Corporation

    PXE-E61 : Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F : Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
    Operating System not found



    I did find this as a solution but it seems to be a temporary solution at best:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...0from%20LiveCD

    Is there a solution other than wiping the drive?

    Re: Grub "no module name found" after reboot

    Same problem -- every time that Windows 7 starts up/shuts down (I can't figure out which) it manages to override the MBR to create this result. No Windows 7 loader, no GRUB loader.
    The only option I've come up with is booting from the Ubuntu live cd and reinstalling grub on the MBR. This is a rather lengthy and tedious thing to do every time I want to turn the computer on, windows 7 or ubuntu. So then I have to decide whether to use Ubuntu exclusively (not likely), use Windows 7 exclusively AND leave it on at all times, or reinstall grub every time I shutdown windows 7.
    Curiously, after this proccess, the boot file for bcdedit (in windows 7) no longer exists and the only resolution to this situation is to use the windows recovery/installation disc to rebuild it.
    There's gotta be something easier! What is windows doing that could make grub stop working, or override the MBR on startup/shutdown?

    I think you have to format your hard disk ones.
