Basically, I used a USB stick to run ubuntu 9.10 live, then tried to install to an external 500gb HDD connected with a Sharkoon Drivelink USB adaptor. The installation went fine, but I get a GRUB error 21 when booting a lot of the time. I figure this is due to the way in which the drive is connected. I am a complete noob, and I want to just remove GRUB completely and restore my Vista bootloader. Unfortunately, I do not have an installation disk as my laptop didn't come with one, and none of the others I have for other PC's are the same version (home premium 32-bit).
If you know of a way to fix the GRUB issue/s so I can use the external drive I would love to hear them too, but the main aim of this thread is to help me remove GRUB and restore the windows bootloader. If any more information is needed, just ask and I will provide it.
HP Touchsmart TX2-1010
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
External HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATAII (with jumper set for 150mbps)
Thanks, Dave.
