hi

have desktop computer windows 7 ultimate 64 bit , ubuntu 12.10 64 bit.

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!
please me computer booting correctly again.

be sure boot repair flash drives or dvds in bios mode, or else may efi changes further corrupt system. since mbr have boot bios.
windows boots uefi gpt partitioning, ubuntu boot gpt in bios mode also.
