Grub Loading Stage 1.5
Grub Loading Please Wait...
Error 2
I just installed ubuntu of the cd they sent me in the post and i get this error after the install...
I installed it as the primary operating system as i formated the whole hdd before installing and grub was installed to hd0
I tried Super grub Disk but couldn't figure it out kept getting errors not succeeded
If anyone can help me write ur answer if u need more info ill try to add the details immediatly so post bk
I just want my o/s to boot normally i had to boot into ubuntu today using an opensuse internet install cd which offers a ''boot installed system'' so i booted hd1: ext3 and ubuntu loaded..
i have also read it could be a filesystem problem but i think it could be that my computer cant find it == but if it says ''GRUB LOADING ERROR'' then has it already been found??? and there is a problem in the system?? please help any details would be much appreciated.. thanks

my guess is that you formatted the hard drive using an old Dos or Windows version of Fdisk, didn't you?
When you installed from the CD, it erased most of the tabling information associated with the Fat32 that your windows installation used but didn't get the small 8MB partition that windows added to perform its install from. This portion contains information anathema to your ext3 boot install. This guy had the same problem:

Since you just started this whole process, my suggestion is that instead of formatting with the windows tool or using the "fast format" option you probably started with and make sure you delete all partitions and then do a reformat of the entire drive.
Barring that, I suggest you choose a friendlier installation tool for your first Linux. Fedora core 6 and the anaconda installer actually look for and offer a fix for this very problem before you finish a lengthy install.

Good luck.

properly the sixty 4 bit has no longer something to do with it. I run x86 on my sixty 4 bit AMD CPU. something is tousled which comprise your boot loader. that's what Grub is. Sorry I dont fairly understand the thank you to repair it, yet i could advise for a common time linux person, while you're a common time it fairly is, try utilising debian or SUSE. they are plenty much less puzzling than ubuntu. yet another solid distribution is Fedora center. solid luck.
