Psmiffy; Hey,
If it is merely a grub installation issue, one may easily (re-)install grub; either from the liveDVD or -if the install boots - from the installation.
All this is required is to know for sure where to install grub to.
From the liveDVD -> "try ubuntu" -> terminal (ctl+alt+t);
Terminal codes"
The line with the "*" character is the boot drive and the root partition.
From the above we know where to install grub onto in a standard install, where there is no separate /boot partition.
Install grub:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/work
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/work
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo umount /mnt/work
Which I fully expect to be sufficient to install grub onto the MBR of the 1st Hard Drive. This is assuming that ubuntu is installed on that first Hard Drive (SDA), adjust accordingly.
Reboot into the install and to terminal, check that grub is all happy and to ensure GRUB 2's menu is up-to-date.:
Reboot once more, just to see that all is good now.
ain't nothing but a thing
