UNetbootin install failure. Grub rescue trouble
This is my first attempt to install Lubuntu 13.04 on a PC running Windows
7 that has no disc drive. I attempted to use UNetbootin. It loaded up
fairly easily. Then I clicked the Install Lubuntu icon. I said yes to
uninstalling Windows 7 (mistake). Now when I turn on the computer, I see
this Grub rescue thing that I have never seen before instead of Lubuntu.
I managed to get as far as finding out that apparently my Linux is in
something called: (hd1,msdos1). I can't do anything past that, everything
is either an error, not found, or isn't actually a command.
It might be worth mentioning that I can only access that information when
I get error: invalid extent. Normally when I attempt to boot I get error:
no such device which will NOT find (hd1,msdos1), only (hd0,msdos2) and
others which show nothing when searching.
Here is exactly what I get when I enter the command ls (hd1, msdos1)/:
./ ../ lost+found/ etc/ media/ bin/ boot/ dev/ home/ lib/ mnt/ opt/ proc/
root/ run/ sbin/ selinux/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ var/ initrd.img
initrd.img.old vmlinuz cdrm/
Clearly I'm a noob when it comes to this. Can anyone help me boot Linux on
this PC? If you need more info to help, please ask (if I even know the
answer >.<) Thanks in advance for your help and patience.
