I understand what you wrote, but I'm a newbie with Ubuntu. Where is this boot info script ? I didn't find it. Before installing Ubuntu I was running Kubuntu (don't remember the version). Maybe am I still lauching the old grub... But how to check it ? I tried "sudo grub" on my Live cd, but i get a "command not found"... –Gabriel Dec 1 '12 at 23:49 Google for boot info script and i

I have looked at almost every post on the internet about this but still to no avail - any suggestions?

You are not using correct device name assigned to partitions in grub.conf file. Boot up from any LiveCD and execute this Code: su - /sbin/fdisk -l Post output here. Post the contents of grub.conf file too. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

When the setup was finished and error 2 i removed the slack-cd and rebooted, i get this message: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 2From what i've learned this Error 2:"Selected disk doesn't exist" This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.This sort of makes grub error 2 sense since during installation i could not use cfdisk to partition; using cfdisk showed me 600mb of free space on hda, however fdisk -l showed me my 2 harddrives of 250gb each, named sda and sdb. I then had to partition in fdisk and continue with the setup. I don't know if this is the way it's supposed to work, but my guess is that the reason grub can't find my root (or whatever it's looking for), is the same reason cfdisk couldn't find my drives, i.e grub is looking for hda1 or something, when it should be looking for sda1.Here's where i'm stuck: I have no idea how to access menu.lst and change the drive it should be booting from. I would appreciate any help on the matter.MarcusEdit: btw, i have absolutely no idea what "hda" is in the cfdisk list, i have no partition of that size, it just doesn't make sense to me.
