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... On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
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?
