Fixing grub rescue [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
GRUB rescue problem after deleting Ubuntu partition! [duplicate]
4 answers
I removed the ubuntu partition from windows and extended the volume to a existing windows partition. Earlier I had a dual boot windows and ubuntu. Now it shows me the grub rescue.
grub rescue>ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1)
I loaded a livecd of ubuntu and did boot repair. Still it is showing grub resue. And I don't have a windows cd.
After trying doing a
"ls (hd0,msdos1) /boot"
on all of partition shown by ls[1]. In each case, it shows Filesystem is unknown.
In the liveCD, I get this:
sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 31791103 31789056 15.2G 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 31791104 32507903 716800 350M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 32507904 780682991 748175088 356.8G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 780685310 1465147391 684462082 326.4G f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 780685312 1465143607 684458296 326.4G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
I don't have any linux partition, should I install linux?
Is there anyway to fix this?

Boot on Ubuntu with Ubuntu Live DVD/USB and executesudo fdisk -l, note your hdd ID (sda in your case)
Now sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install syslinux
Finally sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
Exit and you can now reboot on Windows. Hope it helps, thanks
