I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu and Windows 8. The grub boot loader fails to load Ubuntu.

It was automatically loading Ubuntu in few seconds but not anymore.

So, I manually choose Ubuntu but it shows some scripts and fails to boot.

Even Windows 8 doesn't boot.

It's now showing something like this: error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. Entering rescue mode..grub rescue> I tried this - grub rescue > ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos6)(hd0, msdos5) (hd0, msdos4) (hd0, msdos3) (hd0, msdos2) (hd0, msdos1) I then tried this- grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdosX) but it doesn't show which is my Linux file!! grub rescue> failed to read file. Please help me I have so many data in my pc :(

  • It doesn't start from grub. The grub seems fine but Ubuntu is not loading!! – stephen Jan 02 '15 at 12:36
  • The scripts are like ata4:hard resting link, unhandled error, usb 5-1: Usb disconnect, new low speed device found etc. – stephen Jan 02 '15 at 13:05

  • You should try data recovery before trying to repair the OS. Especially if your hard drive is failing. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step – bcbc Jan 11 '15 at 19:24

Sorry friends it's my fault, the problem was with the hdd and it wasn't detected in my bios but its really working now after I reinstalled in motherboard. I doubted so when I tried to install Ubuntu from live disk then it showed I don't have enough space. I was confirmed after checking it out in bios. Feeling relaxed. Thanks everyone.

Boot into Ubuntu DVD. Choose "Try Ubuntu" option when it does provide two options of "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu". Then, open up the Terminal, type sudo update-grub. Upon executing the command, reboot the system and check out if it does boot. If the issue persists, comment the error message.
