So basically I am an Idiot and I messed up my install of Ubuntu 12.04 that i had dual booted with Windows 8.1. I tried to update to 13.04 and That's what messed it up at first. It wouldn't let me boot into Ubuntu anymore. Every time I chose Ubuntu it would go to a black screen and that's it. Entered the recovery a few times and attempted repair but to no avail. So I booted into windows. Got Ubuntu 13.04 iso and made a bootable DVD.
Now here is where I am an idiot. For some reason I thought I should just delete all of the partitions Ubuntu was on so I could start fresh. So I did so and rebooted. Instead of booting into my DVD I got the grub rescue command line. And that's all I can get now. Won't let me go into bios or boot menu, so I have no way to set it to boot from disc drive in order to boot from either my boot-repair disc or Ubuntu DVD. So I have absolutely no idea what to do now. I'm usually pretty good at fixing PC's but this one is a bit above my pay grade. No
Any ideas ?
