Boot your computer up with Ubuntu CDOpen a terminal window or switch to a tty.Go SuperUser (that is, type "sudo -s"). Enter root passwords as necessary.Type "grub"Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0,1)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.Type "root (hd0,1)", or whatever your hard disk + boot partition numbers are for Ubuntu.Type "setup (hd0)", to install GRUB to MBR, or "setup (hd0,1)" or whatever your hard disk + partition nr is, to install GRUB to a partition.Quit grub by typing "quit".Reboot and remove the bootable CD. I couldn't leave well enough alone I wanted to get rid of the bad XP that resided on the old drive so I used partition manager and deleted that partition and merged it with some unpartioned space. I then rebooted the system and grub was gone again i could not get into the system from Windows XP or ubuntu all i get is a black screen I have to hit control alt delete and this reboots the system I again tried the script up using a 8.04 live CD that I originaly loaded ubuntu with but now it wont let me load the Grub it gives me this message. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub Probing devices to gu

It's sata scheme consists of a 30gb SSD and a 1tb hdd in a raid0 with intel rapid start technology. I removed IRST and disabled the raid0. I want to install ubuntu on the ssd and /home/ on the 1gb hdd. I foolishly erased the efi partition on the 1tb and attempted to recreate it by formatting the ssd and creating a new GPT partition table. I made a error 15 file 250mb fat32 partition (/dev/sda1) and filled the rest ~24gb with an ext4 partition (/dev/sda2) I made a live USB using a 12.04.2 iso and universal usb installer. The installation completes fine however at the end I get the error "Failed to install grub-efi to /target/ the system will not boot". I tried to open terminal and update grub however it's not there and when trying to install grub-efi from the repo I get flagged for missing a lot of dependencies. Ubiquity crashes after the error message. I had success a few months ago installed 12.10 using my friends usb cd drive however I broke the system and cant be down until I next see him. Is there a huge difference in 12.10 and LTS that would stop this install from working smoothly? My net goal is to have Ubuntu running on the machine with steam (tf2 and bastion) and eclipse IDE. If 12.10 is better suited, and can solve this efi issue then I'll gladly install that however from my understanding LTS would be more stable and still run the modern updates of Quantal. Will 12.10 install grub-efi flawlessly? and if not how can I install grub-efi from the live usb onto a solid state drive /dev/sda with efi boot on /dev/sda1, ext4 mounted as root on /dev/sda2, and /home/ on the hard disk /dev/sdb2? Conclusion: LTS wasn't
