- Hi !
- I had the same error message, but other things I did before. Fortunatily I
- trashed only my partition table and not the partitions itself.
- So because I think Bootmanagers only work with the partition tables and not
- with the partions itself I would first try to restore the partition table
- like it was BEFORE.
- To solve my problem it was enough to delete the partitions with bad start and
- ending numbers AND TO RECREATE THEM WITH THE EXACTLY SAME DATAS AS BEFORE !
- After that all were alright ! My system worked again !
-
- Hopefully
