I installed Mint Linux 9 yesterday on my computer, and when I restarted my computer it won’t start. It says
error: out of disk
grub rescue>_
Others said that I should type in fdisk -l and tell them what it says. It doesn’t say anything.
When I type fdisk -l, it doesn’t print anything on the screen.
When I type fdisk /dev/hda0 it doesn’t print anything either.
It seems that linux doesn’t recognize my hard drive, but that’s not true, because it did install itself on my hard drive. So, it should recognize my hard drive. Apparently the live cd is working fine, but the installation on my hard drive doesn’t want to start.

Hi there, everything was running fine until yesterday when I started my PC and got a message “error loading operating system.”
I checked the BIOS settings and its detecting my hard disk.
I tried reinstalling windows but at the step where it asks to select the drive,there are no drives in the list.
Now I’m running Linux Ubuntu from the live CD. (I’m running it from the cd cause I cannot install it as I can’t detect my hard disk).
Can anyone tell me what can I do ? Is there any way I can do this on my own ? Any way to access and repair the hard disk from Linux ? Or any boot options or anything ?
