So I downloaded boot-repair based on an answer from post.
I could not figure out why the following did not fix grub: sudo update-grub
Partitions listed in grub as (hd0,msdos6) would be translated to /dev/sda6. hd1 would be sdb, hd2 would be sdc, and so on. I have also learned that drive numbers as in hd0 need to be translated to drive letters as in /dev/sda for some commands. What do I need to do to permanently fix it? After booting into Ubuntu I have performed the following steps described in the manual: sudo update-grub Well, it seems like it is a requirement to boot into Linux. Now I just need to figure out how to save this settings from within grub itself, without booting into any OS. I have learned from you that I can replace msdos6 with just a 6 and that I can just do insmod normal instead of insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod. Thanks Shashank Singh, with your instructions I have simplified my steps to the following. Others will give "error: unknown filesystem."Īfter the following commands I am now getting to the boot menu and can boot into Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but upon reboot I have to repeat these steps. I now know that (hd0,msdos6) contains Linux on it, since ls (hd0,msdos6)/ lists directories.
For the first hard drive I see the following: So far from reading the manual on grub rescue, I was able to see my drives and partitions using ls command. Is there a way to fix this issue from within grub rescue without the need for Live CD?īy following the steps from Persist commands typed to GRUB rescue, I was able to boot to initramfs prompt. I have started researching the issue and finding that people usually recommend to boot to a Live CD and fix the issue from there. Now I'm getting: error: unknown filesystem.įirst of all I was surprised not to find any kind of help command, by trying: Everything worked fine, until I rebooted the computer a few days later. One day I went ahead and downloaded Partition Wizard and created a logical NTFS partition from within Windows 7, still some unpartitioned space left over. I had a lot of unpartitioned space left on the drive and was reserving it for adding other OSes and for storing files there in the future. Multiboot is configured with Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu - all on the first drive.
