Missing Operating System after trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 11
- by Mauricio
there!
After trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 11, the upgrading process stopped when running and then I got an "out of disk, grub rescue" message when booting.
After running Boot Repair, I got this results.
Now I get "Missing Operating System" whent trying to boot.
Bellow I show some results from some commands I gather from help foruns, but I still reached no solution.
Could you please help me? Any enlightment will be very helpful!
Disk Utility says "Disk has a few bad sectors". When trying to run
the Self-test I get "FAILED (Read)"
Here we have what Gparted says about the /dev/sda1 partition (ext4):
Flags: boot
Status: not mounted
Warning:
e2label: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda1Couldn`t find valid filesystem superblockUnable to read the contents of this filesystem!
From sudo fdisk -lI got:

and fromsudo fdisk /dev/sda1I got
fdisk: unable to read
/dev/sda1: Inappropriate ioctl for device`
From sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mntI got:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
From sudo update-grubI got:
error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
