I am using linux mint
I left the computer as a 3rd night running ddrescue doing a cloning disk to disk.
When i got up this morning just the terminal was running but anything else had dissapeared… the desktop and bars had dissapeared so i could work or do anything (i dont really now how to you the terminal much i use xwindows for linux mint even to install programs) . So I closed the terminal and switched off the laptop manually since i knew i could continue ddrescue with the log file!!
I disconnected the 2 disks i had attached and I restarted the computer… this is what I got
error: attempt to read or write outside of partition
Entering rescue mode…
grub rescue>
what do I do now? take into the account i do not have another computer and i have a lot information in there since i emptied my new disk to clone the old disk in my laptop… info that i dont want to loose!!
I have tried this
grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos5)/ # this is root and bootloader of linux
grub rescue > set root=(hd0,msdos5)
grub rescue > set prefix=(hd0,msdos5
but when I do
Grub rescue> ls /boot says error: attempt to read or write outside of partition as well if I do
Grub rescue> ls /home gives the same error but
I can do fine:
Grub rescue> ls /media or ls /root or ls /lib
I have tried
grub rescue > insmod normal but it says the sames
error: attempt to read or write outside of partition
what can i do??
Thanks in advance
