I installed Ubuntu from a USB onto an old computer. The HDD I used also contained some personal data that I didn't want to use, so I created a new partition while installing and added Ubuntu to that partition. The installition proceeded smoothly and I restarted when prompted. After the restart, I got the error message that no operating system was found.
There are no other OSes on the drive. I suspect this is connected to the partitioning. The data on the drive is important and I don't have any other drives for that data, so eliminating the partition is not an option.
Is there a way to fix this so that the computer will detect Ubuntu without having to reinstall?
If not, was there some setting that I should have set differently (likely with the partition) so that I can re-install and have a bootable installation?
Thanks.
