Hello guys

 

Im new to the forums, just learning how to manage it.

Well the other day i turned my notebook on and there was this grub4dos thing on the screen, 

i didnt know what to do, so i restarted it and it bootd like always..

Thanks!

GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is a Bootloader. Why you booted into a Bootloader, hard to tell, but you might have installed some software, or left a USB drive with a Linux distribution or some other tool on it, which boots into it.

Oh i see.. but is this removable?

I'll assume you have Windows on your laptop, and not a Linux distribution. Like @Cheesebaron already said, your pc was probably trying to boot to a external medium. Check your dvd drive, as well as usb sticks that were plugged in :D

Awesome!! i'll check if there is any devices on!!

Thanks for the help guys.. ooohh

one more thing, i was looking for some answers and found this "fixmbr" command, what is this?

Fixmbr will try to create a new master boot record on the location given by you. For example, "fixmbr /dev/sda" will try to create a new mbr on sda (hdd nr. 1)
