I just upgraded my computer and I am having some boot problems
I upgraded my MOBO, Processor and Ram and kept everything else the same from my old system. i.e hard drives.
My plan is to do a fresh install on a new drive and keep my old drive as a back up. I created a startup disk on a usb drive and tried to boot from USB - HDD, it wouldn't work. Although it did boot into my old ubuntu install on my old drive which i neglected to un plug. This probably happened because i had the harddrive as my second boot option
I continued to try different USB-xxx options to boot from and all I get is a Grub 1.5 error 15. This also happens with my old drive unplugged and my new drive with nothing on it connected.
an issues I have is I don't have a dvd rom, my old one was IDE and my new MOBO doesn't support it.
If anyone could give me suggestions I am all ears.
oh the different USB-xxx options were
usb - hdd
usb - zip
usb - cdrom
usb - fdd
I have no real clue why I would have so many options but, here we are
