Newbie: Please help with boot repair

[carlschultz2020]

Hello,

I tried installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 7.
My machine has three hard drives (and I was trying to get a separate hard drive to linux).
The installation completed, but, now I am unable to boot neither OS.

Here is my pastebin link:

I will appreciate any guidance to a solution or resource.

Best regards,

Carl

Your sdb and sdc appear to be in a RAID setup. You might get better help by putting "RAID installation problem" in the title. Unfortunately, I know nothing of RAID. Did you even get a grub menu? Just an uninformed guess, but maybe you need a separate boot partition to hold the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and kernels.

The machine has three disks. BIOS shows all as being non-raid. For some reason, boot-repair shows those drives as being in a RAID configuration. Yes, I get a grub menu.

Its not a BIOS or FakeRAID but hardware type RAID.
Normally then sdb & sdc would be seen as one drive.

Do not know RAID either, but have seen other threads where some tools get confused with RAID, LVM and gpt.
Thinking gpt is misconfigured somehow. But it may be ok.

But Desktop installer does not fully support RAID. Issue seems to usually be the install of grub as grub needs different settings on where to install depending on type of RAID. Often Boot-Repair adds correct drivers and will correctly install grub, but it may depend on type of RAID.

Thanks, I reinstalled (this time sharing the Windows7 hdd, instead of using a separate hdd).
I was able to boot linux, and grub gives me the option to select OS at power up.
