The partition extension was successful except that I screwed up the Grub configuration. When I booted in my laptop after the partition changes, I was welcomed by the Death Screen of Linux saying: error: no such partition grub rescue After googling a bit, I found this mega thread on Ubuntu forum that helped me. But since it is a very complicated thread, I have re-written the tutorial so that one can follow it easily. So there are http://askubuntu.com/questions/478000/errorno-such-device-grub-rescue some assumption and some requirements to fix the error: no such partition grub rescue problem. You can read this tutorial to fix similar Grub error minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word,TAB lists possible command completions. anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. Requirements and presumptions: You must have a live CD/DVD/USB of the same version of OS You must have internet connection You are dual booting Windows with Ubuntu (no Wubi installation) You do https://itsfoss.com/solve-error-partition-grub-rescue-ubuntu-linux/ not have a separate /boot partition Now lets see how can we rescue the grub here. How To Fix: error: no such partition grub rescue We'll be using chroot to rescue grub. The whole concept is that since grub configuration files have been deleted or corrupted, it needs to be re-installed. And using the live CD of exact OS version, we can install the grub configuration again. It will delete all the changes (if any) you have made to the grub. Please follow these steps to easily fix grub rescue problem in Ubuntu (or other Linux distributions): Step 1: Know you root partition Boot from live CD, DVD or USB drive. Try Ubuntu from live disk. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command: sudo su fdisk -l Here, you will see the drive name and partition number. It should look like sdXY. Where X is the drive letter and Y is the partition number. Usually it should be like sdaY. You have to recognize the partition where root has been installed.

Use the following commands to mount it: sudo mkdir /mnt/temp sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/temp Replace XY with appropriate values. Step 3: Be the CHROOT Once we have the pa

I'll try to cover it all (albeit, in pieces), so please be patient. I decided to install Linux Mint 11 where I previously had Ubuntu 10.10. Before this install, I had a partition with Windows XP, which--at some time in the distant past--I used to dual boot into. I removed the partition in this install. After installation, the system fails to boot. After the check for a CD/DVD, it prints: error: no such error no such device: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx GRUB rescue> There were no problems booting Ubuntu. I seem to recall a similar issue last time I did an install (instead of an upgrade) to Ubuntu. It's been a while, but I thought I fixed it using FIXMBR and/or FIXBOOT from the XP CD. Those did not work this time. The GRUB rescue> prompt seems to be broken. Even help doesn't work. I am able to ls, which yields: GRUB rescue> ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (hd2) (hd2,msdos5) (hd2,msdos3) (hd2,msdos2) (hd2,msdos1) Further, I don't know what this device is. I can't find a matching UUID under /dev/disk/by-uuid. For that matter, there are no UUIDs for my booting hard drive (sda, below). My setup is a Frankenbox. I know not to rely on device enumeration in such a mix, but they're given below for easy discussion. Ch 0 Master: 250GB PATA (sda) sda1 Ch 0 Slave: none Ch 1 Master: 80GB SATA (sdb) sdb1: / sdb2: /home sdb3: swap Ch 1 Slave: DVD SATA SATA expansion card: 250GB SATA (sdc) sdc1 I thought I'd struck gold when I discovered some lingering (and confounding) RAID metadata on sda. The drive hadn't shown up in the Linux install before, but did after using dmraid -r -E /dev/sda. However, the boot failure persisted. Until just now, I could use the Mint install CD to "Boot from Local Drive", which would indeed take me to my installation on sdb1. After using the CD to boot to the drive
