Grub rescue - error: unknown filesystem

After using testdisk 6.11, I got the error message:

Unknown filesystem error: grub rescue

To fix it, I used Boot-Repair, but it took too long - hours! (I had to go to sleep and return (: )

So, is there other way to fix it faster? Thanks!

Try again with Boot Repair.

1 - Live CD

First, you'll need to boot from a Ubuntu Live CD.

2 - Repair the bootloader

To restore the Grub bootloader, follow these steps.

Open a terminal from the Live CD, and run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
boot-repair

After a few seconds, Boot Repair's main window will open.

Click on Recommended repair.

You're done!

Reboot to test everything out.

If everything went well, you should be up and running now.
