I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 x86 on a friend's computer, and I keep running into the same problems. There are three hard drives, the first one has Windows, and we are trying to install it on the second. The installation runs smoothly, but when we boot up we get Error 22 on the GRUB boot loader.
We put in the Windows restore disc to restore the Windows boot loaders. We tried using EasyBCD, but we get "Cannot load from harddisk. Insert Systemdisk and press any key." We tried reinstalling GRUB through the liveCD (ala https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), but we encounter the same error (22).
I've never encountered this error before, and I haven't been able to find much on the subject (outside of restoring the Windows boot loader).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S. The only thing curious I noticed through out the whole thing, is that when I ran:
find /grub/stage1
under the liveCD, it output "hd(2,5)", which if I'm not mistaken, is the 6th partition of the 3rd hard drive (We were installing it on the 3rd partition of the second).
