I got a new laptop(Samsung NP530U3C) which comes with 24GB of a SSD and a 500GB hard disk. I installed Ubuntu on the SSD and made a ext4 partition on the hard disk for saving media files. Boot loader got installed on the hard disk.

Everything worked fine until I deleted the ext4 partition on the hard disk. Since then I cannot boot Ubuntu and I am not sure how to fix the problem without having to reinstall Ubuntu.

How can I revert the boot loader to the hdd? Would really appreciate some help :)

what i understood from your writing that you have deleted the partition that hold the boot loader?! – user61928 Sep 28 '12 at 5:20
maythux yes. I thought the boot loader is not in a partition? – Pithikos Sep 28 '12 at 13:24
