In such a case, pressing “Ctrl+c” to get to shell prompt and enter this command (without the quote) :
"fdisk -l" if you are not root then run "sudo fdisk -l"

The output will list all the partitions and it’s properties, including the file system type.

e.g.,

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 1 654 5253223+ b W95 FAT32
    /dev/sda2 * 655 1962 10506510 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda3 1963 3924 15759765 83 Linux

The “System” attribute of your GNU/Linux operating system will be “Linux”. So note down that partition number.
e.g., sda3
Since it’s array numbering, sdaN is mapped to (hd0,N-1).

Just (hd0) will be the Master Boot Record(MBR).

sda1 will be (hd0,0) and so on.

So, sda3 will be (hd0,2)

Now, log into the grub-shell prompt again.
