    Unknown filesystem

    I am trying to install Ubuntu through the live CD to a resized partition on a External HDD.
    But when I try to boot into it, I get:
    error: unknown filesystem
    grub rescue>
    The boot loader is on the external HDD

    Re: Unknown filesystem

    Hi.

    Are you trying to install from a CD? Can you boot and get to the partitioning stage in Ubuntu Installer?

    Yes, I successfully installed it from the CD, and it's partitioned right, but when I start my PC without the CD, instead of going to Ubuntu like it should, it just goes directly to
    error: unknown filesystem
    grub rescue>

    I managed to boot using a VM, using "sudo qemu /dev/sdd" on the liveCD.
    So it works fine, I managed to log in and created a folder, so it's definatly my BIOS
