i deleted some files due to loss of memory and after restarting an error about loosing a neogrub.mfr was shown.
Since i had burned a super grub 2 disc entered to ubuntu (11.10) and typed some commands that was at a site to correct it.but now windows's(xp64 and 7) didn't loaded so i used recovery in windows cd. And after that restart.now three boot line are appeared but now i can't enter linux. One pointer is shown with this message:grub rescue> And doesn't recognize commands i type. What should i do?what commands have to put there? |

Is the DVD or CD inside the drive when you get that "grub rescue" prompt?

Do you still have the Ubuntu 11.10 Live CD/DVD? Or and older version, perhaps 11.04?
If you do, then it's preferable to now use this live CD/DVD to help you recover the grub booting mechanism: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...tallingWindows Caution: read the instructions 2 or 3 times, before trying to follow them!

Hi Ehsan,
I'm either getting old or I'm too tired from the long week... it took me about 10 minutes to find this tutorial: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grubcon...-xp-dual-boot/ I think it's one of the best to explain what you should do to restore access to your Windows installations. Best regards, Bruno

I have get a huge number of instructions and have tested a lot of code without any result. I'll test it tomorrow. could you tell me which expression you searched? thanks. Last edited by immortality; April 20, 2013 at 04:53. |

I Googled:
Code:
boot windows from grub Nonetheless, I had the advantage of knowing what I was looking for... but it took me longer than I was expecting _____ PS: I've moved this thread from the OpenFOAM Installation sub-forum, to the Lounge sub-forum. It's the only one that fits the profile...
