Getting rid of 2.8

[gold_finger]

I gave a shot at my GRUB/Partition problem with you help video.  But early on, I get this message that there is no such partition.  It really looked promising but I guess I'll now wait to see from you guys if this is the end of the rescue process.
EDIT: I'm digging into Ubuntu Help and saw that I didn't call my partition correctly in Grub Rescue.  Would it be (hd0,6)?

Maybe -- it's possible msdos5 and 6 may not correspond with sda5 and 6.  Eg. msdos5 may actually be sda6.


Try with msdos6 first; if doesn't work use msdos5.


If still no luck you can also get system back by doing the following while booted from live USB/DVD of LL.
*** Boot with live LL USB/DVD and open a terminal when desktop is up and running.
*** Enter following command to list the partitions on drive and see that your root partition is still called "/dev/sda6".

Code:

lsblk -f

*** Assuming it is, enter following commands to mount the root partition to live environment and re-install grub to MBR of drive.

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda

*** Unmount root partition from live environment with this command.

Code:

sudo umount /dev/sda6

*** Close terminal, shutdown computer, remove live USB/DVD.
*** Reboot and it should now boot into installed system.




P.s.

Uh, guys, again with my Windoze background but, you can boot from a "non-primary" partition in linux?

Yes -- not a problem in Linux.
