I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 (3521). Bought in early 2014, immediately blew Windu 8 and found I do not remember what. Promuchavshis few years with all sorts of viruses, in the 2017th decided to try Linux. Of the thousands of proposals chosen Ubuntu 16.04 first, then upgrade to 18.04. OS I liked, I understand it pretty well, in my opinion, three years lived without knowing the troubles. But suddenly the other day an acquaintance bragged that set Android OS, said on his laptop, it is difficult that the wood must first find, then, behold, in short, on the move, said Figure Set. I fired up ... Choate came home, entered in Google "How to Install Android on a computer" and voila - a lot of results - take it, download and install. I went into the GParted, allocated for the new OS 24 GB hard disk, the operating system downloaded and installed. Went without any problems, but whether she herself has made a new section on your 8GB, or both - do not understand, in short, terrabaytny computer became vosmigigovym, more than 5 of which occupied the Android OS itself, gig - program, and there were only 1 5 GB of free space. And yet. Naturally, I did not accept this situation and I decided to take down Android and return my faithful Ubuntu. And this is where it all started. When you restart your computer, I discovered that there is only Android Grabe. I do not put up with Ubuntu, but it is stupid not appear in Grabe. What to do? Well, I think it does not matter - put Ubuntu again, the business somehow at half maximum. I shake my Ubuntu from office. site, but ... Sorry, there is no space available. It was she who weighs more than 2 GB, and I only have one and a half! What to do? Android on the flash drive. A swing on the flash drive any distro Ubuntu Chrome or Mozilla or Opera do not want - I did not find the settings to change the location for downloaded files. Went to the store and bought an adapter to connect the flash drive to the phone, I downloaded Ubuntu on the phone and set on the flash drive. Install Ubuntu on a computer, but at the first reboot, when the OS is installed and take out the flash drive, Hornbeam shows ... Android !!! Ugh! But what is this ?! Reinstall Ubuntu, erasing during the installation of all drives except sda2 on more than 800 GB (drive D, if on Windows), and when you restart the console climbs with the inscription: Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. And below left: grub>and a blinking "_" (without the quotes, of course). Are transferred from a bootable flash drive, I go to the Ubuntu Mozilla open and let's read kilograms of materials throughout this topic. What did I not pereprobyval - nothing helped, even Ubuntu forum did not help. And seek help there - it's just needlessly stress. There are assistants that first tub of slops poured on you, and then later, through, perhaps to help a couple of days. May be. In short, I read that Windows kills Hornbeam, putting his own. Uploaded distribution Vind sevens on a flash drive, is installed on the computer. And then began the most terrible. After installation and the first reboot climbed the same inscription in English. But most interesting is that Windows is no such function that it can be run from a flash drive without having to install as Ubuntu. Had again on the flash drive to load Ubuntu and try to log into the OS though, so no installation. But ... all computer stops responding. This message always appears in English, it was a feeling that the computer does not see a flash, that is, I could not start the computer even with a LiveUSB, not at all. Stupid damned label and everything. On the phone I have found a bunch of different ways Grab recovery, but 99% of them are required to go to the operating system with the LiveCD / USB, but it was impossible. I found in Youtube 4 ways to restore Grub, and 2 of them were just out of this console. But it did not help! Once again, I went to the forum Ubuntu, did some operations described there, doing something of the writing on other sites, in short, I killed 2 days with all this rigmarole, Sunday and Monday - all useless, well though ... something I ponadelal there and now with a bootable flash drive again, I can log into Ubuntu without installing it. Actually, right now I print the text of this unknown OS. I have bios and any differently tried to set up - all useless. Ubuntu, I found sort of, but after the restart again climbs the damn console with an English inscription. I do not know what to do. The boy, who by Android on a computer I boasted, and advised to go here, what I'm doing. On top of the English inscription written GNU GRUB version 2.02. I hope someone of you can help me to recover Grub. I'm just not sure what to do ... I fully formatted hard not an option - too much of the desired information. And with an unidentified Ubuntu (with flash) sda2 (drive D) is not displayed anywhere that this info somewhere in the cloud send.
