HELP, I got a big problem! I had 3 partitions, I deleted the one with
Mint, and now my ubuntu 16.04 wont' boot. get this error: no such
partition. entering rescue mode...grub rescue>
I researched online but, man this is way over my head. This is one thing I
found but I've learned the hard way not to do commands when you don't
understand what you're doing....like the post I followed to delete a
partition—which never mentioned loosing the boot info!!!
Working off boot DVD, I used gpart to delete the Mint partition, then
resized the ubuntu 16.04 to include that partition, but got a message that
to complete the resize might injure the boot info, so I clicked on undue
the resize. But, when I tried to boot got the grub rescue prompt.
anyway, there seems to be a lot of different ways to do this according to
the posts I have researched, all kinds of complicated commands etc that I
have no understanding of. I also will want to either delete or downsize the
partition with ubuntu 14 on it. I think part of the problem might be that
16.04 was the last partition i added. On the gpart menu it is on the right
of the box/graph that shows the relative size of the partition....
Can anyone walk me through this? I really need my computer back! Sure would
hate to have to reformat the HD and reinstall everything!
Thanks,
