System info:
ASUS eee PC, Atom 1.8GHz dual processor, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium
installed at factory, Ubuntu 11.10 post-installed in dual-boot.
Problem: Have tried five installs with fresh formats each time.
Without fail, the dual boot works fine until powered off. Upon restart,
I get "no such partition...grub rescue" and am unable to boot into
either installed OS. I have tried using Live CDs (BartPE, ERD
Commander, DSL, Knoppix, Puppy, Slax) to fix this with no luck.
I have attempted hundreds of dual-boot scenarios, and the only times I
have issues is when Grub is used as the bootloader. Fail rate in my
experience is 80%.
At this point, I just want to get access to my system and get rid of
Grub and Ubuntu and chalk it up as a learning experience. BTW, when I
try to access my recovery partition, I also get the "no such
partition...grub rescue" \message.
Worse than a virus. Far worse.
