Questions tagged [grubrescue]

Questions about using the grub rescue prompt or how to get rid of it.

If the computer sees that GRUB is missing, it will show you the grub rescue prompt:

grub rescue>

To get rid of it (which most users ask) you will have to repair GRUB. A tool that is common to the Ubuntu community is Boot-Repair.
