NTLDR is missing -- Not dual boot

[vwi]

I've installed Ubunto on a Dell with two hard drivers and raid 0. I told the installation to install Ubunto using the entire disk. Now I get an NTLDR is missing message when I boot. All the threads I've found on this subject involve dual boots. I'd don't want to dual boot.

I've search through the BIOS setup, but can't see anything relevant to the problem. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Can you boot the LiveCD? If so can you post the output of

sudo fdisk -l

You will have to open a Terminal under the Applications>Accessories menu to enter the command.

(that is an L not a 1)

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".

See "man sudo_root" for details.

What is the boot order of your hdds in bios? Acccording to fdisk, windows is installed on sdb2, and linux on sda1.

You nailed the problem. I solved it myself by trial and error. In Setup, I disabled sda2 and enable sda1. Ubuntu booted! Better yet, I found the wireless setup, put in my SSID and password and I'm replying now on my new Linux system. Cool!

thanks everyone for your support.

good night!:)
