let me give guys quick breakdown:
- system: dell inspiron 1520, windows 7 (x64), 500gb hdd, 6gb ram , nvidia geforce 8600m gt , etc.
- got curious , installed linux 11.04 onto laptop hdd (seagate momentus 500gb 7200rpm)
- 45gb "/home", 4074mb "/" , 3000mb "swap"
- everything installed fine, had no issues except once in while buggy
- decided /home small, went windows 7 , deleted partition (older recovery partition) had not 1 using linux different one.
- tried sign unbuntu 11.04 add space /home partition
- rebooted , got error: "error no file found, grub rescue>"
- now, read bunch of stuff forums quick fix, if there , following suite, here's bootinfo script results:
