Grub Rescue #1
Okay I got in some serious problems :S

I used Pmagic to erase all the partions I had on my Netbook.
and well I accidentally erased the partion from Grub
so I am stuck with no partions and no grub
just hd0 (empty partion)
I tried to install/open Ubuntu 11.10, Super grub disk, Pmagic. and none worked :S, I am stuck at

Code:
grub rescue>

I tried to use

Code:
grub rescue>set set prefix=(hd0,6)/boot/grub set root=(hd0,6) grub rescue> normal Unknown command 'normal' grub rescue>ls (hd0) (hd1) (hd1,1) grub rescue>ls (hd0)/ error: Unknown Filesystem grub rescue>ls (hd1)/ error: Unknown Filesystem grub rescue>ls (hd1,1)/ error: Unknown Filesystem
the hd1 and hd1,1 are from the USB boot.

well I am at a wall right now :headbash:
anyone got any suggestions? solutions?
and thanks in advance

So, why you can't install the ubuntu again? Does it give any error? Can you start it from flash drive?

Hmm... Seems to me, that the grub on your flashdrive itself is corrupt, does it work on other computers fine?

Yes I booted from USB with all the OS I have (ubuntu 10.4, ubuntu 11.10, Pmagic, Gparted, Rescatux, Super Grub Disk, Backtrack, Red Hat, Suse, Windows XP, Windows 7) and all work just fine on my Desk PC, but in the netbook none work :S

EDIT: I'm trying all I can using only 3 commands... If I cannot deal with it anymore by 2 or 3 hours I shall go to a technician (since I'm just a Med student I don't really know much about this) and Get it repair. I'll post the solution.

RE: Grub Rescue #7
Okai I got it fixed...but now I have another problem...


SOLUTION: I open the netbok and boot the hard disk into my deskPC, and installed windows XP (Couldn't install any linux systems)

Problem: I have windows xp....and well I still don't have grub. So I can't boot with a cd nor usb any linux system. Any help with how to install grub in a windows xp netbook, without booting up in a USB?
