Stuck at Grub Rescue (grubrescue> ) ; no filesystem found

if you are stuck at booting in ubuntu due to some file system miss management and prompted with command promptin a dual boot system (windows & linux)

"grubrescue>"

what to do ?

you may need to follow some simple steps:

1. you may get a list of available partitions by typing command "ls" and then enter, you may get a list like following


2. Now you have to find your linux partition. for that you may go with command " ls (hd0,msdos7)/ " or  just "ls (hd0,7)/". you will get list of directories only for linux partition for all other partitions you will get error like "no file system found".

3. After finding linux partition you need to set linux partition as prefix and set its mode to normal. you may write the command statements as following:

 4. In case you get some error (unable to find HDD), while setting mode to normal you may write it like:
 5. You will be taken back to normal boot screen of ubuntu. but you need to perform the above set of operations on every boot, which is not a good choice :) so just login to ubuntu and reinstall the grub loader.
restart the system and enjoy.

I hope it will help you out. :)
