Hi Guys
I've been reading through threads to try and resolve the issues I'm having and this seems to address what's happening.
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 but on reboot get the following error message:
I have 3 internal SATA drives - one with ubuntu, one ext3 for file storage and one with Win XP. I also have an external USB hard drive. All drives were plugged in and detected when I performed the upgrade. One thread suggested I disconnect all the other drives to resolve the boot issue but this did not solve it.
Below is the output of the boot script:

I too got hit with the following:
http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475385 but I didn't install grub to all drives. I did, however, select to install to sda1 - the boot partition - thinking this was the correct option, which by what I've been reading is incorrect, as instead of installing grub to the root partition I should have installed it to the drive, ie. sda. Is this correct? If so how do I now change this as it's looking for core.img but it cannot be found at that location.
Any help much appreciated
