So it seems the newest Ubuntu isn't my most favorite rev, released, so I decided to move back to the Feisty Fawn edition. Why, do you ask, because of the crappy nvidia feature they got on there, even after uninstalling it I still could not manage to manipulate my X.org config. So I figure hey why not install what worked back then. This is my setup here:

So as you can see I have multiple partitions set up, yes I know, don't ask me why, until I can figure out what it is that I am going to actually do with them. So, I have made the decision of saying "Screw windows" I don't game anymore and or do graphic design, so my best bet is to use something that is quick and clean.
So after wiping my SATA clean I have added the following:
/ = Pretty much the left over free space
/boot = 80MB
SWAP = 2048
Okay so now that it is clean and clear, And installing I get an error on the screen: "Error loading Operating System" *bites lip*
Okay so lets try to restore GRUB:
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
% sudo grub
% grub: find /boot/grub/stage1
(hda0,0)
% grub: root (hda0,0)
root (hda0, 0)
% setup (hda0)
and of course setup was successful... lets reboot
% grub: quit
% sudo reboot
[Computer Restarts]
waiting patiently...
Black screen! Oh Noeeee's!
"Error Loading Operating system"
*Bites into lip, watching as I hemorrhage*
Such a dramatical sequence forgive me, just venting.
Could someone please tell me where I went wrong?
