New DVD RW drive.
New CMOS battery.
Re-loaded GRUB
***
On attempt to boot from HD: "NON-SYSTEM DISK ERROR. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" (not verbatim)
Will not boot Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD
Will boot Parted Magic
Will boot Xubuntu 8.04 LTS
I'm thinking something is up with my boot sector - like, it's physically messed up. I'm thinking about cloning my OS partition to a new HD and installing GRUB there and trying that.
Totally puzzled by the fact that it won't boot the 9.10 live cd, which it did before, and I installed from. I don't know, maybe it's scratched.
