Grub error: no such partition Unknown File System

[Ex 4722]

I was deleting linux mint from my desktop and after I rebooted I got a message Grub error: no such partition Unknown File System
I can not do anything and i do not have a windows repair disk. Is there any way that i could fix this? I have a windows 7. I already searched up "ls" and all of the things are undefined.

Sorry i forgot to add that i am able to enter one time boot menu with BIOS and stuff like that by pressing F12

When you say you have Windows 7, do you have the disk? You might be able to repair from that.

If not, you may still have a recovery partition on the hard drive. You would need to boot into that (key combinations depend on the make and model of your computer).

The easy fix is to remove grub using LILO. If there is msdos partition table (sudo parted -l tells) and grub is installed to /dev/sda, the process goes using linux liveDVD or USB the next way:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install lilo mbr
sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr
