Yesterday I decided to update my system from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. I downloaded desktop ubuntu for i386 .iso and made a liveUSB(using UNetbootin). I choose Try Ubuntu without installing and there I run install and choosed Update Ubuntu from 10.04 to 12.04. And at the begining of the update system just stucked and I made reboot.

And now GRUB looks like this enter image description here

And when I try to choose ubuntu instead of loading it there appers messages like enter image description here

I tried to check and fix partitions using GParted from LiveUSB and treid use sudo fsck.ext4 -f /dev/partition_on_disk. But all thing still the same. What else can help? Also I tried update GRUB but nothing changed too

    what was your fsck output? what happens when you try to mount the partition? i'm in the same situation as you though, so don't hold out hope that i'm some guru with any answers :( By the way, what is 'fix'? I can't see any such command in Ubuntu, the repositories or google! – Adam Nov 24 '13 at 15:44
  • @Adam well it's not command, this is what fsck is asking you about :) – Danil Gholtsman Nov 24 '13 at 15:51
  • oh, sorry. i see what you mean. the way I read it, I thought you were using a seperate command. so does fsck fail when you run it? for my error, fsck says it's fixing the errors, but it actually doesn't and it ends with the message that the filesystem still has errors. – Adam Nov 24 '13 at 15:55
  • @Adam nope, I got the same - it was like it fixing errors but it didn't helped – Danil Gholtsman Nov 24 '13 at 16:09
  • Oh right. That's tough. It's weird that nobody is jumping in with more suggestions either on your Q or on mine. First of all we get a few answers, but then nothing. It's as if no-one wants to say definitively that the hardware is dead. – Adam Nov 24 '13 at 16:38
  • @Adamwell, my hdd fine I think. Becasue of windows 7 starter(when I bought my netbook it was installed) on it still works and works fine. And seems like all my files which I had on my 10.04 system are fine. – Danil Gholtsman Nov 24 '13 at 16:48
  • @Adam however, now I runned install ubuntu 12.04. – Danil Gholtsman Nov 24 '13 at 17:04

  • Boot ubuntu live usb and run install.Don't choose update from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04,choose something else option.Select the ubuntu 10.04 partition and format it to ext4 filesystem.Then choose the same partition to install ubuntu 12.04.
