I had a lot of unpartitioned space left on the drive and was reserving it for adding other

OSes and for storing files there in the future. One day I went ahead and downloaded Partition Wizard and created a logical NTFS partition from within Windows 7, still some unpartitioned space left over. Everything worked fine, until I rebooted the computer a few days later. Now I'm getting: error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> First of all I was surprised not to find any kind of help command, by trying: help, ?, man, --help, -h, bash, cmd, etc. Now I'm stuck with non-bootable system. I have started researching the issue and finding that people usually recommend to boot to a Live CD and fix the issue from there. Is there a way to fix this issue from within grub rescue without the need for Live CD? UPDATE By following the steps from persist commands typed to grub rescue, I was able to boot to initramfs prompt. But not anywhere further than that. So far from reading the manual on grub rescue, I was able to see my drives and partitions using ls command. For the first hard drive I see the following: (hd0) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) I now know that (hd0,msdos6) contains Linux on it, since ls (hd0,msd

I believe I installed Ubuntu over Windows on my Acer netbook. I then tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/142300/how-to-fix-error-unknown-filesystem-grub-rescue to install Linux Mint, but it wouldn't start installing. I turned the netbook off and back on. Now I get the error. I have read a lot of other questions like this, but in my case I cannot boot a CD.

unknown file system error?UpdateCancelAnswer Wiki10 Answers Amit Kumar Padal, A Fellow TradeviserUpdated 13w agoI faced the same problem a week back when https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-fix-a-grub-rescue-unknown-file-system-error my sister got a HP laptop which came with Windows 8.1 & Ubuntu preloaded. The Windows was partitioned with 320 GB of unpartioned drive and the rest was allocated for http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html Ubuntu. All I did was partioning my hard-disk in Windows. Then once I restarted my laptop it said "unknown filesystem" "Grub Rescue" & I couldn’t get any further.After struggling for grub rescue hours I could fix the boot-loader problem. Here is what I did:-Stop panicking, you didn’t loose your data.-Switch on the laptop, wait till you get the Grub Rescue Screen.-Type the following commandslsIt will show you a list of partions you have made.You will get something like this (hd0),(hd0,msdos1)(hd0,msdos2)(hd0,msdos4)You need to find which drive is your Ubuntu root for which type the error unknown filesystem following:set prefix= (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grubIf it’s not the root drive you will get an error message "unknown filesystem". In that case try the same command with the next partion, ex: set prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grubIf you are not getting an error: Congrats, you have found your root drive. You can proceed to the next command after that:set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grubinsmod normalnormalYour PC will now boot successfully. Now select Ubuntu & login.Open Terminal( Ctr+Alt+T or use the search)sudo update-grubsudo grub-install /dev/sdaNow the bootloader error is fixed you should be able to boot your laptop normally & even your data is intact.If sudo update-grub didn't work, type sudo grub-update54.1k Views · View UpvotesRelated QuestionsMore Answers BelowHow do I fix unknown file system grub error?How do I boot a system after grub rescue error, unfortunately unknown filesystem says when I run ls (hd0,msdos5) /boot in all the partition?In my HP 246 laptop I've deleted the Linux partion, and after restarting, it shows Grub rescue error, what should I do next to fix the bug?Why does GRUB rescue appear when uninstalling Ubuntu?My dual booted (win 10+Ubuntu) laptop is reporting GRUB err
error string and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 1: "Hard Disk Error" This error message will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the hard disk fails. "Floppy Error" This error message will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a floppy disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the floppy disk fails. It's listed as a different error since the probe sequence is different than for hard disks. "Read Error" This error message will occur if a disk read error happens while trying to read the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5. "Geom Error" This error message will occur if the location of the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is not in the area supported by reading the disk with the BIOS directly. This could occur because the BIOS translated geometry has been changed by the user or the disk is moved to another machine or controller after installation, or GRUB was not installed using itself (if it was, the Stage 2 version of this error would have been seen during that process and it would not have completed the install). Errors Reported by the Stage 1.5 The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form "Error: " and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. The error numbers correspond to the Errors Reported by the Stage 2 in the listed sequence. Errors Reported by the Stage 2 The general way that the Stage 2 handles errors is to abort the operation in question, print an error string, then (if possible) either continue based on the fact that an error occurred or wait for the user to deal with the error. The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 2 (error numbers for the Stage 1.5 are listed before the colon in each description): 1 : "Selected item won't fit into memory" This error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load it's data such tha
