grub rescue at every boot
I had a dual boot installation (Win8 & Ubuntu). I was not using Windows much and decided to have Ubuntu for the whole system. When I reinstalled Ubuntu, I got the error
error: no such partition
Entering rescue mode
grub rescue >
Then I tried the following at the grub rescue
set root=(hd1,1)
set prefix(hd1,1)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal
When I tried these command, I got the Ubuntu boot menu where I was able to start the system. However, when I shut down the system and restarted I got the same grub rescue error. Can you please help?
I am not sure if this helps. Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l

Those commands are fixing your problem temporarily.
Try running this command from terminal when Ubuntu is running to try to fix the problem -
sudo update-grub
Running just this command should be enough for you, but if it isn't, you can run all three of these to try fixing your problem. [Replace X with your drive letter]
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX
sudo update-grub
