I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP and Lubuntu.

What happened is, I tried to uninstall Lubuntu by trying to format the root drive while using Lubuntu. it just said error, so I looked for other ways to uninstall Lubuntu.

I got what I wanted, but when I restarted, I got:

error:unknown file system.
grub rescue>

I tried ls, and got all those hard drive partitions, but none has the root directory.

What do I do?

Boot with a LiveCD of your distro.

Open a terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

Open the boot-repair window

Select the first option and wait until the process finishes.

Restart your computer without the LiveCD

If the problem is not solved. Then, boot again with the LiveCD in the terminal execute

gksu boot-repair

Select the second choice and wait until it finishes.

Restart.
