Invalid Partition Table

What is the output of:

sudo frisk -l; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Sorry, change frisk to fdisk. Stupid autocorrect

Hi Andrew

Sorry .. I have no Knowledge of Ubuntu Commands -- need to get info from the customer -- However -- could you please help on Possible reason to have this Error -- Is this is something related how the installation being done ?

We need the output of the command so we can see the partition layout. The error doesn't give enough detail for us to make suggestions.

1. The output of the commands given above should provide some basic information that is required for providing help.
Please open a terminal window on the customer machine (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue these commands, then use the terminal window's menu entries "edit - select all" and "edit - copy" to copy all output and paste it into this question document that we can see it.

2. Reinstalling the grub boot record helps to correct some cases with error messages at early stages of booting. To give the correct command we need the output of the commands given. (The required command might be "sudo grub-install /dev/sda", but to confirm we need your output first. Running this command with wrong parameters can negatively impact your system, so please wait for further instructions.)

Hi

Please find the Details of the command being run.
