You might have the GRUB error message because your Linux partition is having the file system corruption errors. GRUB fails to recognize and start the corrupted partition. You can solve this problem by running the fsck on the boot partition. If the problem remains then reformat your partition. Reformat may deleted all your saved important data in that case you can restore the lost data from the backup file. If you don’t have the backup file then Linux data recovery applications can be used for the safe and complete recovery process. Such Linux recovery software extracts the lost data with the help of powerful scanning algorithms. Besides these applications empower you with the advanced recovery functionalities and the ease of the deployment.
