Hello all, I have a little problem with a laptop here. I have tried Ubuntu a few times and probably will be successful someday with it, but for now it just takes too much time messing around with partial drivers etc. So I had a bad hard drive, I got that changed and thought I would try version Ubuntu 12. I didn't get too far for the same reasons. Anyway, I put in my windows XP recovery disks, did what they said, but now I cannot get past error: unknown file system grub rescue>. I can't boot from a CD anymore either, no matter how I get to the BIOS screen I always change to boot from anything else but the hard drive but there it is again. I am considering removing the hard drive and putting a magnet to it. Any better ideas?
Thanks in advance!
