The https://stringofthoughts.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/grub-error-15-debianubuntu/ error gives you a message "Error 15: File not found!" simply because the file grub wants is not there. why? because grub is looking into a wrong device. You need to make changes to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to fix the problem so that grub looks into the correct device but first find out where is your root partition.Boot from a live CD -> open terminal . $ sudo fdisk -l | grep -i linux This will list your swap and root devices. In our example here /dev/hda5 1276 1397 979902 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 1398 2550 9261441 83 Linux Swap :: /dev/hda5 and Linux root :: /dev/hda6 /dev/hda6 is your root device. /dev/hda6 is written as (hd0,5) in grub. Make sure you understand this if it’s /dev/hda1 in your system then you ‘ll use (hd0,0). It’s always one digit less in (hdX,Y) Open your menu.lst file and check /dev/hda6 and (hd0,5) is the root device in the file and not any other device. This is the main reason for error 15. Here in our example root is /dev/hda6 so the /boot/grub/menu.lst should look like this title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hda6

I suggest performing a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 or waiting until 14.04LTS is released next month. mkhalil (mkhalil-80) said on 2014-03-18: #2 boss i have huge data in that system including emails, i need it to be recovered as it is first, either plz let me know how can i copy all my data with full rights to another location, i can see the data, but many files have either 'locked' or 'crossed' means locked files/directories i can view, but cross marked i cant, neither i can copy cross marked. i want to first tranfer my data with full access to safe location before i install another OS. thanks for help. rgrds mkhalil actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666) said on 2014-03-18: #3 uninstall libreoffice, you will not be able to reinstall it as there are no packages for Lucid, it is end of life. You will need to boot to root recovery mode and clear space there The community cannot continue to support old releases just because you refuse to upgrade. actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666) said on 2014-03-18: #4 Why do you not have a backup if t
