9.10 -64 Grub2 doesn't work

[floweringmind]

I can install 9.04 no problem.

When I try installing 9.10 64bit it installs fine but then when the system go to boot after the install, no grub menu appears.

It just says Grub. I tried reordering the boot order of drives but then grub can't find the drive to boot.

My setup is:

Drive 1 windows 7
Drive 2 linux backup drive
Drive 3 main linux drive that I use

I also tried super grub but that didn't work. I also tried installing 9.04 and then installing 9.10 without it installing the boot loader but apparently 9.10 requires grub2.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Ubuntu community doc on GRUB 2 has a section on the G2 command line. There are various ways to try to boot into the system from the grub or grub-rescue prompt. The guide also has a section for reinstalling GRUB 2 if that becomes necessary:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20&%20Rescue%20Mode

If you upgrade 9.04 (Grub legacy) to 9.10 it should retain Grub legacy. Karmic does not have to have GRUB 2 to operate properly although it is installed by default on clean installations.
