Hi there! So last night, I updated my bios (ASUS Z87 F4tality Killer v1.50) When my pc restarted, I got an error on startup, black screen, saying No Such Partition Grub Rescue.

Now I have 1 SSD with Windows 8.1 installed, and an HDD for storage. By default, my computer tries to run off of the SSD but then I get the error. When I try booting from the HDD, Windows boots up perfectly. Very confused as there is no OS installed on that drive.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Very confused and any help would be appreciated!

The_Rhinoctopus, do you have Ubuntu installed?
This error is usually displayed on PCs running Linux OS. Here's a thread that you might find helpful in this case: http://askubuntu.com/questions/197833/recovering-from-grub-rescue-crash
Several fixes that might also be useful: https://neosmart.net/wiki/no-such-partition-grub-rescue/
This is usually due to a deleted partition with a dual boot installed on it, so basically your MBR still has old boot sector values for both operating systems. You can try the automatic repair option on Win 8.1 and if it doesn't work you can try with Command prompt. Then enter the following commands:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
There is a detailed explanation about that...

There is a detailed explanation about that in one of the links I've shared with you.

Hope this helps you. Good luck! :)
