Hello from a first-time-Ubuntu-install person
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an XP machine from the Live disk. Since then I haven't been able to boot at all.
I either get to the
"error: no such device: acc09210- ...
grub rescue>"
or I get the
"fd1 cannot get C/H/S values "
I have found some postings about similar issues but after trying many of the solutions (without really understanding what I was doing) I still have not resolved the problem.
after typing "ls" at the "grub rescue>" I got
(hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,1) (fd0) (fd1)
error: fd1 cannot get C/H/S values
grub rescue>
Please help me resolve this. I need my computer back.
