Hi,
I have read through a bunch of threads trying to figure out thsi problem, but none seem to be exactly the same. I am a lunix newbie so am pretty lost.
The problem I have is that when installing ubuntu on my system (with vista already installed), I keep getting grub erros when the system is restarted.
I have a raid0 system (could be a "fake" one since its a dell pc), but if I remopve the raid to have 2 individual disks, it is unable to recognize any disk at all. So I think I definitely need the raid volume there (Even looked in bios settings and am unable to change settings there).
Installing ubuntu after creating a empty partition works fine. It seems to have no problem whatsoever to install it from either the live cd or alternate cd. but when the system reboots I get a GRUB1.5 error (seen 21,15,7 so far) and am unable to access either ubuntu or windows.
Reading up in other topics, it seems that raid configurations aren't that great for this, but since my options seem slightly limited I don't think i have a choice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
