Hi Andrew, I Googled your issue and got lots of results giving fixes, tried them? On Thursday, 9 January 2014, Andrew Nduati wrote:
The error is "error: unknown filesystem(on the 1st line) grub rescue>(on the last line)"
I tried some codes for trying to point it to the correct partition all to no avail...

What is the grub error - This most likely is grub pointing to the wrong partition which is easily fixable

Okay, the steps taken as of an hour ago were: 1. Run linux from a flash disk
2.) Install it an gave it almost 200gig.(This brought a gurb error but after several "re-installs" it succeeded). I was able to boot into windows 8 and it was alright.
As we speak the grub error is now back and I am lost on how to solve it. I even Googled but the solutions given are quite unclear to me :)

I'd cut the chase and go with Areba's suggestion. The error message you are gettng implies you deleted (formatted) the root partition. Re-install.

Alright, I've run into another problem.. I googled how to uninstall linux from dual boot and used the method on Lifehacker.com. The first problem I ran into was the partition appeared as "free space" as opposed to "unallocated", even after multiple deletes. I rebooted the comp and now i have the following "error: unknown filesystem(on the 1st line) grub rescue>(on the last line).. What happens now?

Or just install mint on the 300 and convert the 4gig to swap.

It is possibe under Gparted to merge the two, but that would take you a loong time, considering the disk sizes we are talking about. Why not just delete the two partitions (which would effectively merge them to one huge "unallocated
