You can use some bootable rescue CD or the Live CD of your distribution if available. If you are unable to boot your system (which might be due to bad filesystem, or due to missing GRUB configuration file), you will need to boot from some other medium. Here also, you will need to change the partition to your boot partition. Now, we have to define the path to grub2 directory: grub > set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub2
Running the 'set root' will define the bootable partition.
In order to boot your system, let's type: grub > set root=(hd0,msdos1) If you don't see this file, you can create it by running the command: grub2-mkconfig Output: device.map fonts grub.cfg grubenv i386-pc localeĪs you can see, the grub in Linux has its own configuration file: 'grub.cfg'. Next, let's explore the grub2 directory by running: grub > ls (hd0,msdos1)/grub2 In this case, to verify that the bootable partition is 'msdos1', let's run the following command: grub > ls (hd0,msdos1)/ Normally, the OS is booted from the first partition of the hard disk.

Most of the time the fix is to boot using Live USB and chroot into your installed system, then use os-prober and grub install Grub rescue CommandsĮach of GRUB failed modes can be fixed by the grub terminal or live CD installer.Īt the grub command prompt, enter 'ls' to see the disk drives and available partitions: grub > ls General Node: Getting into grub mode is general a very common issue when you do a dual boot. If the GRUB can not find the grub folder or the contents inside are corrupted, The GRUB prompt looks like: GRUB2 is a replacement for GRUB bootloader. Nowadays, most of the Linux systems are using GRUB2 (grub version 2). When will the grub rescue commands be used?
#DELL COMMAND PROMPT COMMANDS HOW TO#
This tutorial will go through some scenarios that make the GRUB unbootable and how to use GRUB commands in order to rescue your Linux OS from boot.
So, GRUB is no longer available and you can't boot into the Linux OS. For example, if you install Windows after Linux installation, the Windows initiate its own bootloader on the MBR (Master Boot Record). In some cases, you have to run both Linux and Windows on the same machine (Laptop or PC), you may encounter some issues with GRUB. GRUB is the default bootloader for Linux kernel-based operating systems. The bootloader is in charge of loading and booting the operating system kernel. It is the first software program which be run when your computer starts. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.
