I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my Windows 8 Pro of HP dv6 7012tx. When I am opening my laptop, its showing these error before showing Windows 8 logo.

error : unknown filesystem.
grub rescue>

Please help me to solve my problem as HP customer care told me to format my entire laptop what I don't wanna do. Help me to resolve or uninstalled Ubuntu via commandline.

Thanks.

Run a live Ubuntu CD or USB, then open Terminal , you need to install boot-repair, it just simple tool to install GRUB boot , and scanning for other OS exiting on your HDD,

  1. Connect to Internet.
  2. Open Terminal
  3. then type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
  4. then sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
  5. Launch Boot Repair from Terminal : boot-repair
  6. Press Recommended Repair.

You can find fore info Here.

The problem here is incomplete installation of ubuntu which has caused an error while booting it as the default operating system. If you are using a bootable pen drive or a disc, next time boot from one of these devices from the BIOS and complete your installation.
