Installing BURG left me with Grub Prompt topic






Fresh install of 14.10 on dual boot with win xp on an old net book. I managed to set up Grub to boot option into Win XP listed first. I pushed my luck attempting to "decorate" and installed Burg (which I learned since hasn't been supported since 2010). Now I'm left with a bunch of text and a Grub prompt "grub >" prompt after reboot. I'm a total noob with Linux and would appreciate any help in recovering from this hell I found myself in- a least painful method would be awesome.

[ubuntu] No space left on device topic






I am running 12.04. I have an USB 1TB external drive. I get the error message "no more space left on device" when I try to create a new file ("touch xx"). There is plenty of disk space and inodes.

Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdc5 169661136 4909824 164751312 3% /media/5AF

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc5 976751968 812006032 164745936 84% /media/5AF


I counted the number of files on the drive and it was 4,901,244 files. It appears to be a number of files issue. If I delete a file I can copy a huge file in its place. But If I try to add a small new file without deleting an old file I get the "no more space left on device" message.

The drive is formatted NTFS.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc5 16128 1953520064 976751968+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT


/dev/sdc5 on /media/5AF type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,b lksize=4096)

What is stopping me from added new files to the drive ????
