Hey guys,
Look, I am the newest of the new to come to Ubuntu. I have drooled over ubuntu for YEARS, Just never really got around to doing anything with it. Anyways. I just recently installed ubuntu 12.04. It was working GREAT! well.. up until i rebooted my machine. Now im confused and don't know where to go. I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given.
Anyways, whenever I turn the machine on now, it wont detect my disk drive and sends me straight to this purple "GNU GRUB" screen (and yes i have gone through the bios and selected the disk drive to be my main boot drive.. still nothing)
Heres a direct overlay of what im dealing with when at the purple "GNU GRUB" screen:
GNU GRUB

Instinctively I select the first "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23- generic-pae. That sends me to this command window:
