Hi all
I have a dual boot linux (dapper/xp)
i have just tried installing Edgy from the live cd by installing it over my existing dapper partitions.
I have a dual-boot Dapper/WinXP setup with 3 hard drives
hda - old 40 gig IDE
sda - 250 gig non boot drive
sdb - 200 gig dual boot drive
This was the insatll options i chose:
/media/hda1 (my IDE data disk)
/media/sdb1 (my winXP NTFS partition).............1st SATA drive
/boot (sdb2)..REFORMAT SET TO YES...........1st SATA drive
/ (sdb4)..REFORMAT SET TO YES...........1st SATA drive
swap (my swap file)..REFORMAT SET TO YES....1st SATA drive
/media/sda5 (my 2nd sata 'data' disk)
GRUB went on the default choice of (hd0)
However when i restarted i got the GRUB boot menu but i get these errors
For Edgy:
Error 22 - No such partition
For WinXP
Error 12
Invalid device requested
What is also worrying is that the /mnt and /media directories show as empty.
I think this could be sorted out by GRUB??? Any idea's what to do here?
many thanks
Diss
Edit : Are there any commands i can run from my live CD that will help diagnose stuff here?
