Ubuntu install problem

dark_hag666 · 25 Oct 2006 at 19:18

right, i put the cd in, boot from it into the live cd, go through the install process, reboot as it asks but when it boots back into the linux hdd it says the problem loading the OS

thats all it says, not even click to reboot

im pretty sure iv just missed something obvious but i cant figure out what. so, any ideas?

nope, iv got the bios set to boot from the hdd with linux on, windows is on a separate hdd.

Set it to boot from that and see if you can get to Grub's menu

what am i setting it to boot from then?

right, i formated and started afresh...downloaded Kubuntu, installed.

booting from the drive i installed on did nothing, this drives is the slave on the ide channel by the way

then tried booting from the master drive (which is not my windows drive)

its said

loading grub 1.5, please wait....

i assume thats in the linux install. if so, how do i get to it when i can boot in?

do i have to boot from cd, in which case it will surely be the standard
