[xubuntu-users] problem getting xubuntu 14.04 to boot

[Nikos Chrisostomidis]

hi,
I have problem getting xubuntu 14.04 to boot.My system is a laptop with
Intel Pentium M processor 1.30GHz - 2Gb RAM.I first tried the live CD,which
worked just fine,so then I installed
xubuntu alongside with Win 7,giving 10gb for the new partition to the
installation.I had to use the "forcepae" command
since my kernel propably is not pae-enabled.The installation process went
just fine,but after reboot I get:


*error: no such partition.Entering rescue mode...grub rescue>*
Offcourse I had to restore the old mbr to boot into win7.
Through live CDs,the partition(ext4) looks OK.
So I have a xubuntu installation in my laptop,but I can't boot into it,
could anyone help?
maybe these help:

*I have done these with some help,but no luck,I keep getting the same(no
such partition...):*
