Grub Error 15
the original drive had Windows XP first that died and my ubuntu I added the new drive and put XP on it which worked fine but it killed my grub I was able to fix it that time by doing. 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

the fact that an error occurred or wait for the user to deal with the error. The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 2 (error numbers for the Stage 1.5 are listed before the https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/Stage2-errors.html colon in each description): 1 : Filename must be either an absolute filename or blocklistThis error is returned if a file name is requested which doesn't fit the syntax/rules listed in the Filesystem. 2 : Bad file or directory typeThis error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO. 3 : Bad or corrupt data while decompressing fileThis error is returned if the error 15 run-length decompression code gets an internal error. This is usually from a corrupt file. 4 : Bad or incompatible header in compressed fileThis error is returned if the file header for a supposedly compressed file is bad. 5 : Partition table invalid or corruptThis error is returned if the sanity checks on the integrity of the partition table fail. This is a bad sign. 6 : Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2This error is returned error 15 file if the install command points to incompatible or corrupt versions of the stage1 or stage2. It can't detect corruption in general, but this is a sanity check on the version numbers, which should be correct. 7 : Loading below 1MB is not supportedThis error is returned if the lowest address in a kernel is below the 1MB boundary. The Linux zImage format is a special case and can be handled since it has a fixed loading address and maximum size. 8 : Kernel must be loaded before bootingThis error is returned if GRUB is told to execute the boot sequence without having a kernel to start. 9 : Unknown boot failureThis error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown. 10 : Unsupported Multiboot features requestedThis error is returned when the Multiboot features word in the Multiboot header requires a feature that is not recognized. The point of this is that the kernel requires special handling which GRUB is probably unable to provide. 11 : Unrecognized device stringThis error is returned if a device string was expected, and the string encountered didn't fit the syntax/rules listed in the Filesystem. 12 : Invalid device requestedThis error is returned if a device string is recognizable but does not fall under the other device errors. 13 : Invalid or
