Hello!

TL;DR: Deleted Linux partition from Windows. Stuck at Grub rescue prompt.

I'm sorry to trouble you guys, because I'm an idiot.

So I'm wanting to dual-boot Kalilinux and Windows 8.
I went through the steps such as creating a bootable USB, changing the
boot order and so on. I get into Kali, start Gparted and try to partition stuff.

I'm far from an expert, so I wasn't sure what to do. Long-story short, I
didn't seem to get Kali installed correctly, due to something with an EFI
drive being required. So I boot into windows and then stupidly, because it said in the guide,try to "uninstall" Kali by removing it's partition, inside Win8 haha... So I did.

Now I simply get the Grub rescue command prompt when I boot from the same
USB and I have no idea how to fix it. I've run bootrec.exe/fixmbr in Windows haha,
for what it's worth. However Grub can't find any partition it says.

In windows, I have like... 2-3 Recovery partitions. Does anyone know how to remove
them??? I've tried to clear as much as I can, besides the C drive and Auxillary D drive.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Hi, yesterday I decided to install Deepin in a dual boot. I later decided I no longer needed/wanted it so I deleted the partition. Apparently I had grub on that partition as well, and now my laptop only goes to grub rescue and will not boot.
I have an acer aspire v5 touch. Removing the hard drive is not an option. I have tried to access UEFI but my computer just beeps and goes to grub rescue. I have grub rescue disk on a flash drive, I used unetbootin to do that, but iI cannot get to any boot menu (f12), and when I use ls (hd0)/ I get a unknown file system error. Please help, and sorry for my grammar/formatting, I'm on mobile.
Tl;dr: Deleted partition containing grub and deepin, now can only get to grub rescue, and I keep getting an unknown file system error, please help.

After creating a bootable usb using Universal USB Installer. I booted up the sytstem (Dell Inspiron N4110) F12 boot on usb, did the install, everything went well until after copying files and then the error message that "The grub-pc package failed to install into /target.. So i continued without a boot loader and now am trying to figure out how to get it back.
Previously i did a perfect dual boot of Kali Linux wherein the Grub boot loader was present. I did however uninstall Kali, reclaim HDD space, and even use EasyBCD to remove Grub(i believe).
Also worth noting is that before this dual boot with pignuy and after uninstalling kali linux i did a complete reinstallation of my windows 7 system using the recovery HD.

Now i would like to know how i could get grub boot loader back onto my system so that i can boot up Pinguy OS. Thanks

In Mint Cinnamon 17.1, every time I reboot, I get an option in GRUB to boot into recovery mode. I have to then manually select normal (not recovery mode) booting, after which I get to the regular Cinnamon desktop. This started happening after the computer froze one time and I had to power it off, but it happens every time I reboot now. Bottom line: on reboot, I need to go through an extra, unnecessary step of selecting normal, rather than recovery, mode. Does anyone know how to get rid of this recovery mode option in GRUB?

I had Kali and Linux Mint installed and erased Mint to install Centos7. Grub was totally deleted and I could only boot into grub recovery. Many hours of cussing later I got Kali back, I can see Centos filesystem mounted on my desktop and in disk utility. I never finished setting Centos up as I was rushed out the door which probably caused the problem in the first place, for some reason it's raid and although it's 2 harddrives they are not set up for raid and 1 is Kali and 1 is Centos. The Centos boot folder is still empty after running grub-install on it twice and it does not show in grub. How do I get Centos as an option?

Hello, i hope i created this thread in good place

I have 2 linux Xubuntu 14.04 partitions
GRUB shows only one partition, i cannot switch user to the second partition too, but file manager sees it right.

In GParted it looks like this:
 http://s23.postimg.org/igpp2j1jf/Scr...5_19_08_53.png

the bigger dev/sda/1 partition is my old one which i want to boot with GRUB and use it

and /dev/sda/6 is new which i need to remove

But i cannot do this because GRUB doesn`t see /dev/sda/1, so what can i do?

My GRUB version is 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1, i tried to update it with sudo update-grub but no effects.

Thanks for your effort

Hello all,

I am new to linux but not new to PC's.

I am self taught in everything i know so far.

I have an issue i am looking for some guidance on, i have burned an ISO copy of AVLinux & booted from the Live DVD.

chose to install on partition & created all the necessary file systems etc with GParted then proceeded with the install.

Completed install but when i try to boot no joy.

I have EasyBCD installed on Vista to manage to boot processes.

I am able to get to Grub4dos window & grub> prompt.

I have tried many commands of which i have identifeid the partition is there as correct filesystem, when running the /vmlin....TAB command it locates the name of the linux distro, if i set the drive partition to makeactive it boots up saying no operating system them have to change it back to Vista.

I have two pics that show the grub configuration reading from the live DVD, the install appears to have some missing or not right as opposed to the DVD, can anyone assisst how i can fix this issue?

Do i have to copy each file over manually from the Live DVD's folders?

Cant attach images here so here is the differeneces,

these are the listing on the Grub configuartion being read using the Live DVD,

1. /etc/grub.d
2. /boot/grub/device.map
3. grub-install
4. grub-mkconfig
5. grub-mkdevicemap--device
6. grub-mkfont
7. /boot/grub
8. /boot/grub/grub.cfg
9. /etc/default/grub

Here is what way they are on Live DVD,

1. Present
2. Present

what do i need to do to remedy this?

i have attempted the install on couple of different drives, no success.

I have tried installing a Ubuntu OS onto a partition (sda3).
When I had difficulties with the install, I decided to delete everything from the partition.

But now when I boot the computer, I get taken to the 'grub rescue' prompt.
I have tried to find grub in my other partitions (sda1 and sda2).
However, the command 'ls (hd0,msdos1)/' for example, does not show a grub directory.
It must've transferred grub to sda3 somehow and now I've deleted it.

I have debian live USB and am trying to install grub with:
Code:

apt-get install-grub /dev/sda

But I get the error message:
Code:

bash: grub-install: command not found

So now I don't know what's going on. Can anyone please help?

I have dual-boot configuration, Windows and Linux Mint. I would like to replace Mint with Slackware. Problem is, Mint installed GRUB and Slackware uses LILO. At the moment I don't have second computer so I can't use help of internet if anything goes wrong, so I need first to make sure I know what to do.
Do I just proceed with installing Slackware and LILO will overwrite GRUB? Or how do I do it?
