motherboard asrock 970 extreme 4 http://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/970%20extreme4/ uefi motherboard have hard disk partitioned mbr not gpt.

hard disk 1 tb , linux , windows partitions half space each.

last night on windows downloading torrent utorrent , before going bed set utorrent shut down computer when download completes.

today after woke computer off must mean download completed.

booted computer instead of getting grub menu got error

code:

out of memory aborted. press key exit

.

guessed torrent download filled hard drive booted parted magic cd http://partedmagic.com delete unneeded files on hard drive , computer boot again.

have used parted magic's included clonezilla create images of windows c , linux root partitions.

when booted parted magic got error

code:

syslinux_boot_linux() failed: error 0 linux.c32: boot aborted!
