Tried installing windows with a installation CD, i deleted some partitions because it was an unknown partition (which was used by ubuntu) then the installation failed.Now whenever i boot up my laptop i get a unknown file system grub rescue error. What can i do that will fix this error? Is there anything i can do?
I have already tried installing windows xp, but it doesn't identify any hard drives. I've placed a ubuntu installation dvd in the disk drive, but i don't get the prompt to boot from disk. i've also tried going into the grub menu by holding the shift key. It'll say grub loading, followed by unknown file system.
I just inserted a ubuntu disk and it seems to boot up now. i possibly had a corrupt or incomplete download for it. i'm trying to install it now to see what happens.
