When I booted my computer this morning a black screen came up that said: error: unknown filesystem Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> The available filesystems are: (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos4) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) I tried looking online and everywhere but it kept on saying to use the Windows 7 installation CD to boot into that and choose "Repair Windows" or something like that. However, I error no such don't have the installation CD because the computer I bought didn't come with it. So I guess what I'm asking is (1) How do I get into Windows 7?

(3) Why did it appear just now? linux windows multi-boot share|improve this question asked Dec 12 '15 at 23:11 Kyle Neary migrated from stackoverflow.com Dec 15 '15 at 16:25 This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers. Exactly how did you "delete" the ubuntu partition (e.g. what command)? –Craig Estey Dec 12 '15 at 23:20 I went into Disk Management and removed the partition that Ubuntu was on. It then said "Free Space" instead of "Unallocated" but I didn't think much of it. Somewhere online told me to do that. –Kyle Neary Dec 12 '15 at 23:27 This looks promising (never used this way myself, so please be very cautious). Good luck! –vlp Dec 12 '15 at 23:59 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You have a serious problem You'll need to take great care when proceeding. When you deleted the partition, you destroyed the data that grub uses to configure itself. That's why you got rescue mode. It's not about "getting rid" of the grub rescue prompt but is about repairing the damage you did to your system when you altered the partition without fully realizing the implications
