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)/

So, why you can't install the ubuntu again? Does it give any error? Can you start it from flash drive?
RE: Grub Rescue - joouur - 10-24-2011
well i have a netbook doesn't really matter will be the same from a live cd
i boot from the USB
and the grub tells
Missing operation system
error: no such partition

Hmm... Seems to me, that the grub on your flashdrive itself is corrupt, does it work on other computers fine?
RE: Grub Rescue - joouur - 10-24-2011
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.

Yeh I think thats the way to go... Sorry I don't know how to fix it... I would need to see it if you understand =)

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?
