Hi guys,
I know this has been discussed before but my case is slightly different to most. First off I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu/Linux in general (I emphasis complete!).
I installed Ubuntu last night onto my HP, I want to Dual Boot with Vista. Unfortunately I didnt notice but I had an external hard drive plugged in as well. Ubuntu installed to the laptops internal drive but I need to have the external drive plugged in when I boot the laptop otherwise I get a Grub Error 21. If it is plugged in everthing seems to work fine, I get a menu with a choice of Operating Systems.
Can anyone sort me out with this issue? How to fix it so that I dont need the hard drive?
Thanks! (I'm realy looking forward to using Ubuntu btw, heard and seen great things about it!) :D
