Hi I have a Sony Vaio VPCEJ with Windows 7 as the primary OS. I installed Ubuntu, as dual boot, a year ago for school because I had a sudden interest in programming and thought it would be fun to learn how to use it. Unfortunately I've stopped using it and being "smart" I deleted the partitions that were blank. Now when I start my laptop I get: error: no such partition. grub rescue
The only command that works here is "ls" and I checked each of the options that were written ("ls (hs0,y") to see what I can do, but that amounted to nothing and other then that I have no idea what I can do there.
When I set up Ubuntu Boot Drive on a USB (like lili usb creator or universal usb installer) this shows up: SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H: Peter Anvin et al
If I try F10, F8, or alt+f8/f10 I only get a blank screen. It won't let me Factory reset or access the menus altogether.
Tomorrow, I am gonna try to borrow a friends Windows 7 CD to try to boot it that way.
If there is any help you can give me, it would truly be appreciated!
