lottie82,

welcome ubuntu forums. sorry issue brought here.

did uninstall ubuntu? i'm having difficulty understanding did when 'had enough'.

if ubuntu still installed on either sda1 (hd0,1) or sda2 (hd0,2), may able boot. if it's not on either of partitions, aren't going able grub rescue prompt.

prompt means grub information found bios points partition or files grub cannot find. can't load modules boot or other os's unless can find files.

can see on sda1 , sda2 running following commands:

code:

ls (hd0,1)/ ls (hd0,2)/

if don't have valid ubuntu installation, going need cd or bootable thumb drive of sort (windows, ubuntu livecd, boot repair cd, supergrub, systemrescue cd, etc).
