I put this under "other OS" because it involved more than one OS.

My problem is that my grub, for some reason, changed to a console. And I have no clue how to work it and I can't access any of my operating systems, because I don't know how to work it.

Someone please help, I can't boot my computer into anything! I had an old Lubuntu Live CD for another computer lying around, and I used that to get on the internet. Someone please help!

It looks like your boot loader is totally hosed. I do not have too much experience rebuilding grub bootloaders, but I have heard they can be a pain. Unforunately, you might be better off using the live disk and recovery data to an external drive and reinstalling the OSes.

I tried using the live disk and trying to remount my drives and I think I managed to fix it for now.
