    grub error 15

    i was extending my linux partition with gparted when it turned off in the middle (gparted and firmware from HP don't play nice together)
    anyway i got it to finish extending the partition, but i'm not sure exactly what happened, it seems grub has up an gone, i've tryed "restoring" grub but i can't since its all gone so now i'm reinstalling it and when i'm using this command:
    #sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/mnt

    it says i need to specify a filesystem type...i can find the type no problem but i need to know where in that command i should specify...

    Code:
    man mount
    should give you the answer ... but mount usually has a good go at mounting a filesystem without it being specified. Check from the output of
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    that you are trying to mount the right partition ... post the output here if you need more help.
