of disk 'hd0'” error and Boot Repair does not solve the problem? up vote 11 down vote favorite 12 I tried to install Xbuntu 13.10 on an older computer. I noticed some difficulties during installation that may be relevant to my problems. Notably: The screen resolution was extremely low. The windows were much larger than the screen and I had to move them around to get to the "Next" button. The mouse cursor was a blur of colours grub commands that was flashing all the time. The installation finished and I tried to reboot the computer. Immediately I got: error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> I made a Boot Repair USB disk, booted it and chose the default repair. The application told me that the problem is repaired and that If this does not solve my problem I should show this link to someone who can help me. What should I do next? I already tried to install Ubuntu and Xubuntu, both with no success. EDIT: I found a workaround. Insert the Xubuntu live USB Select "try Xubuntu" In the settings menu select "install Xubuntu" This fixed the problem for me. Since it is solved I cannot test the answer. grub2 share|improve this question edited Jan 1 '14 at 11:40 Braiam 39k1693154 asked Dec 30 '13 at 2:36 Martin Drozdik 61341224 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 17 down vote accepted Locate the partition in which linux is present with the help of following technique grub rescue > ls (hd0) (hd0, msdos9) grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos9) grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos8) grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos5) # suppose this is linux grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos5) grub rescue > set root=(hd0,msdos5) grub rescue > set prefix=(hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub grub rescue > insmod normal grub rescue > normal Now, syste
