I have a brand new (3 hours old!) N210 that installed OK. I then used a partition manager to add an extra partition to the HDD and during that process something has happened.
All I now have at boot up is a message that reads “entering into resuce mode grub rescue >” and a blinking cursor.
I have run the system restore after pressing F4 at start-up but this has not solved the problem. Can anybody offer me some advice on how to get Windows to boot?
Many thanks in advance.
Paul.
front_element – Welcome to the forum
Which partition manager did you use. It sounds like you have Linux grub installed. You could try typing ‘rescue’ at the prompt and try to recover the situation with grub commands.
What partition did you create and are the original partitions intact ie. the recovery partition which contains your backup of the Windows system?
I assume F4 Full Restore did not function because the MBR has been changed by grub.
These threads may be of assistance.

Hi
I had similar problem. As I bought from Amazon I did a return as faulty and got a new one. I previously phoned Samsung support but they were no real help and it was them who suggested I return to Amazon.
Good luck

Just don’t tell Amazon that the fault was caused by a failed attempt to create a partition.
Good luck
