Thread: grub error 16 dual boot system


my laptop, has long had dual boot xp/ubuntu installed, gives following error when booting:

grub loading stage 1.5.

grub loading. plesae wait...

error 16


booted hot dvd explore/fix, not sure go here.

sudo fdisk -l yields (manually typed in here, start/end not shown)

device boot id system:
/dev/sda1 * 7 hpfs/ntfs
/dev/sda2 f w95 ext'd (lba)
/dev/sda3 82 linux swap / solaris
/dev sda5 7 hpfs/ntfs


determined /dev/sda1 appears primary windows partition. sda2 won't mount without specifying file type - suspect linux partition. sda5 has 1 entry: system volume information.

i'd preserve windows install - don't have toshiba original install disks (sigh).

click on boot-info-script in signature , follow instructions there post results.txt file here in code tags, # icon in toolbar of reply box.
