Hey guys. I'm having some problems with getting Ubuntu 10.4 installed correctly and I'm not sure what else to do.
I've got 5 Sata hard drives, none of them are set up in a raid. 4 of them are 500gb and one of them is 160gb. I've got windows 7 running on one of the 4 500 gb hard drives, and I've installed Ubuntu on the 160gb.
The issue I'm having, is that Grub won't load. After a little digging I found I had to specify where to install Grub, so I went ahead and had it install to the 160gb drive and figured I'd set that in the bios to boot first. Whenever I try to run from the hard drive I get a quick error message that occurs too quickly to catch, then a blank screen. A few moments later, Ubuntu comes up without ever giving me the option to boot windows.
I did some reading in the forums and saw that some people suggested opening the terminal and trying sudo update-grub2, so I tried that. When I did, I got the following:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic-pae
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic-pae
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
ERROR: ddf1: wrong # of devices in RAID set "ddf1_Drive" [2/4] on /dev/sdc
ERROR: ddf1: wrong # of devices in RAID set "ddf1_Drive" [2/4] on /dev/sde
done
I also found something about trying sudo grub-mkconfig or something along those lines, and when I ran that, I got the same message at the end.
Anybody have any suggestions?
