Started out by de-fragmenting and repairing any bad sectors on my computers hard drive. Originally I tried to use an Unbuntu 8.10 live disc that I got from a magazine, however it wouldn't load either as a live disc or full install. It kept giving me the message; Busybox V1.10.2 (unbuntu 1.1:10.2-1unbuntu6) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) I created further live discs for Kunbuntu8:10, Xunbuntu8:10, Xunbuntu8:1 Alternate, the alternate version couldn't find my CD driver and the Kunbuntu8:10 & Xunbuntu8:10 gave the same message as above
install to an external USB hard drive. This person already had Debian Linux installed on their local hard drive and was attempting to do an http://www.pendrivelinux.com/grub-error-21-after-full-install-to-usb-hard-drive/ install of Ubuntu to an external USB hard drive. During the Ubuntu USB hard http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=108824.0 drive installation process, Grub was accidently moved from the internal hard drive to their external hard drive, rendering the original Linux system unbootable without the external drive plugged in. When attempting to boot from the original Debian Linux system, they would encounter the Grub Error 21 shortly after the Grub 1.5 boot process. The good news error 21 is that the fix to repair Grub on the original system was quite simple and is illustrated below: Reinstalling or fixing Grub after error 21: Boot into the original Linux system with the external hard drive still installed (or you can boot from a Live Ubuntu CD). Open up a terminal and type sudo su Type fdisk -l and locate your Linux boot partition from the list Example: sda1 or grub loader 1.5 hda1 Type grub-install /dev/sdx or grub-install /dev/hdx to reinstall or repair Grub!
