I installed ubuntu 14.04 on my machine but unfortunately I can't use it !

At first, I had this famous error :

error: line '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found

I looked on the Internet and I found that it is necessary to reinstall grub2.
After the installation, I found this screen:

boot manager

and when I click Ubuntu I got this error:

 error: unknown filesystem
 Entering rescue mode...
 grub rescue>

I tried to apply this solution but it doesn't work!

Who has an idea please?

Download and run Gparted, you can download it from here:

http://gparted.org/download.php

It's a live ISO so burn to cd and run. Then delete all partitions on the hard drive. Then remove the Gparted from the dvd-rom and insert the Ubuntu install disc. Now run the Ubuntu install from scratch.

  • I really don't see how this is going to help, why gparted when the installer will format the drive anyway? and why a full reinstall just for a grub-rescue error? – Mark Kirby Apr 20 '16 at 11:03
  • Because, 1.) This is a new install and you have nothing to loose, 2.) Some partition might be hidden and starting with a blank disk might be the best idea and 3.) Sometimes a 20 minute install is simple quicker than googling or waiting for a reply for 3 days. But yes, formatting the drive with the installer will be a good second best. – warhansen Apr 20 '16 at 13:16

After several manipulations and searches, I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 by making a new partition of my hard disk ! (except that I lost my Windows).
