Hi guys - I've got a desktop machine I'm using at home which has vista business installed. I decided to move to ubuntu because vista is so dismally slow and so I downloaded the .iso file, mounted it and installed it from inside windows as a dual boot. Install goes fine, it restarts and I select Ubuntu from the boot menu and then from the grub menu - but it gives me the error message ALERT! /ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist! Dropping to a shell... And it refuses to boot. I uninstalled and reinstalled three times but the same error came up. So I pressed e at the grub menu to configure boot options and it seemed like it was trying to boot off my slave drive, which had no ubuntu partition on it. So I changed it from "hdd1, msdos1" to "hdd0, msdos0" and it booted fine. Then this morning when I went to turn it on, there was not even a grub menu, and apparently there was no root.disk either - it just dumped me straight onto grub command line -.- I've checked my ubuntu folder and sure enough root.disk is in there, in all it's 30gb glory - please help!
