[Q] Laptop not booting. Need help fixing it. - General Questions and Answers

I just ****ed up my laptop. Can anyone help me?
I installed ubuntu on it last year. Since it was buggy, I formatted my laptop to remove it, ubuntu vanished but its grub loader did not go. I neglected that kept on using windows 7. Now, yesterday I decided to upgrade to windows 8. Before installing I opened windows 7's partition manager and tried formatting the 10 GB unpartioned space that was previously allocated for ubuntu. My laptop restarted automatically during the format and now my laptop doesnt start at all. It doesnt even reach the grub loader. Before that I get an error -
" error: unknown filesytem
grub rescue> "
I tried booting into ubuntu using a live disc, it booted successfully and I formatted the 10GB partition successfully. Then I rebooted and now it doesnt even boot into ubuntu using the live disc. I seriously need help now

check storage card for file format.

Ok. I understand that I sound like a complete idiot, but ive really searched and found nothing.
Backstory: had some software trouble in my X1 using itje's touch-it 5.something so i had to hardreset. Might as well try out his WM 6.5 ROM...
Now, when I enter bootloader it wont "active sync". (im on xp and i have the .NETframework 3.5 btw). As long as the phone is on i have no trouble syncing.
-buggers. oh, well this gives me a reason to try out the md-card method. But I cant for the love of my life find the info if my card is formatted to fat32 or not.
Ive tried resco explorer, but it says that my card might be locked..
In xp my storage card turns up as a folder, so no luck just checking properties there..
Any1 got any clues?

Since i dont own any adapter its not really helping me atm. thx for your respone tho.
Anyway, googled a bit more and realized that you dont have to be in bootloader to start the ruu.
Still wanna know tho. =)
I re-read your fist post, when in bootloader mode, active sync won't start. You'll just have a serial com port installed.
Dunno if it helps.
Ok. thx for the info.
Any clue on how to check the storage card to see if its fat32 or not?
Bought it unbranded from 3 in sweden in mid january containing a 4 gb card.

[Q] [q] please help me

Fellas, can I please get some help
I have been trying to install the 4.0.4 on my rooted and unlocked boot loader on my samsung galaxy nexus. Mainly because I want to see if the volume and signal are better. I have clockwork Mod Touch installed version 5.8.0.2 and also downloaded the tool kit by:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
My drivers on my CPU correctly but I keep on getting this and it wont install anything. Ii did not want to install a new ROM but after so many errors I backed up my Stock 4.0.2 just to make sure and tried to load Gummy and that gave the same error. (I dont want the Gummy ROM) I just want the 4.0.4 here is a screen shot of the error message it is showing me. Guys, Thanks for your help in advance.

For one, it looks like the file isn't signed. Toggle signature verification off if you have the option (I don't know if CWM has the option, I don't use it).
There's something else that is going wrong, but I'm not quite sure what. Try reflashing the recovery. If that doesn't help, backup the SD card, format it, and try again.
So do u think I should delete clockwork mod apps and delete files from SD card then reinstall?

I think i know where the problem is, for some unknown reason its not creating the sdcard data as it would, like shows on the above image.
but in my friend´s pc all are ok
and these files that look like the sdcard store are incredible small compared to the same ones on my friend´s pc
Sorry for the ugly post and bad english, as i said i´m new here and english is not my native language.
I hope the best for you all, and please help me if you know hot to fix it.
Thanks!!
Whats the actual hardware that you have ? It gets stuck if your pc is too weak or theres a problem with your video drivers.

[Completed] Rooting LG L70 D320N problem with ext2fsd

Okay i wanted to root my LG L70 D320N and i've read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732311 , and i started step by step, i downloaded all stuff etc...
I've started and used Mini Tool Partition wizard to format sdcard into ext2, it worked. Now i needed to use Ext2 Volume Manager, and this is where problem occurs. I put my 32gb transcend microsdhc into my sdreader then in transcend usb reader. So when its already plugged in my pc, both programmes don't want to start, Mini Tool Partition Wizard and Ext2 Volume Manager, i click and run admin permission and nothing shows, then i need to turn off pc, start it again and first run programmes, and after they start i plug in reader, when i plug it in, it shows like its said on topic,

So what should i do now? Please help.

I got my windows 7 key yesterday and strangely what ive found out through researched is that my laptop is so old that it only supports 32 bit virtualization and not 64 even though the host system is a 64 bit. Anyhow, I get the same results as when I try to run it through wine.

Finally got some one to let me fix it on their windows 10, easy peasy.
Hey i know this thread is old but:
There's a cross-platfrom implementation for EDL: https://github.com/bkerler/edl
QFIL emulation should do what you need if you already have the required files.
