For some reason, some of the spacing is off in that, not sure why. But I think in this case the spacing is not important. its the wording I am concerned with.

Look:
versus:
You would probably do better by highlighting & copying each line to the clipboard and then pasting it into the terminal.
Do you know how to do that? Highlight (either with your mouse or by arrowing the cursor to the beginning of the subject text and then shift-rightarrow to highlight what you want. Then ctrl-c copies it to the clipboard. Then click where you want to place it (on the command line) and ctrl-v pastes it there. Then press enter. Voila! No typos.
I am trying to force myself beyond the point of typos. My typing has made major improvements just through these past 14 pages. That, and again, i can only have one machine logged in at a time and my windows machine is far faster on the internet. So, currently no ubuntu forums on the ubuntu machine.
corrected the issue with the typo and put it back in terminal, checked it over three times to be certain. No issues. Hit enter, and it gave me the prompt again:
So no change, so long as I am understanding everything correctly. Should be my name in place of ubuntu, yes?Code:root@ubuntu:/#
Going to go back over your post, check to see if i missed something again. Just to be certain. And then try again.
Then you can highlight & copy the entire series of commands, paste them to a file, save it to a usb flash drive, then plug that into the ubuntu machine, etc.
So I tried going back from the beginning with:
this gave meCode:fdisk /dev/sda
So I hit m to see what it gave me:Code:Command (m for help)
[code]Command action
a toggle a bootable flag
b edit bsd disklabel
c toggle the dos compatibility flag
d delete a partition
l list known partition types
m print this menu
n add a new partition
o create a new epty DOS partition table
p print the partition table
q quit without saving changes
s create a new empty sun disklabel
t change a partition's system id
u change display/entry units
v verify the partition table
w write table to disk and exit
x extra functionality (experts only)
So that's what you see after running chroot $TARGET /bin/bash correct?
If so, good. But that's not the solution yet. That just get's you in position to attempt the solution. Now you are "superuser" in your own ubuntu system, not the one on the CD. So, if the amd64-microcode is what's preventing you from booting normally, you can uninstall it.
So, in that same root terminal session [it must be the same terminal session in which you just ran that series of commands ending with "chroot $TARGET /bin/bash"] run these two commands (one at a time):
Then to exit the chroot environment, simply:Code:apt-get remove amd64-microcode apt-get autoremove
Then try to reboot without the cd. You may still need to edit the grub boot parameters with acpi=copy_dsdt or acpi=off.Code:exit
Press q to exit.
You are in advance mode to create new partition table which I do not think you want.

OK so you jumped the gun & now I don't know what status your system is in. So your best bet now is to close that terminal completely, open a new terminal, and start over again with this series of commands:
and then, without closing that terminal, continue withCode:sudo su TARGET=/media/sda1 mkdir -p $TARGET mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev mount --bind /proc $TARGET/proc mount --bind /sys $TARGET/sys chroot $TARGET /bin/bash
and thenCode:apt-get remove amd64-microcode apt-get autoremove
and reboot.Code:exit
