Cause There are several possible causes: The BIOS contains incorrect hard disk values or LBA [wikipedia] is not activated. You installed your Linux system on a new hard disk but forgot to register it in the BIOS. Therefore, stage 1 of the boot loader is loaded, but stage 2 cannot be accessed. The BIOS is not able to detect the full hard disk capacity. For example, in case of a 40 GB disk, it only detects the first 32 GB. However, Linux is installed on the last 8 GB. The computer BIOS is not able to address the hard disk area beyond cylinder 1024. However, the Linux boot partition (or the partition containing the kernel or other files needed for booting) is partly or entirely located beyond cylinder 1024. Usually, this problem only occurs on old machines. However, it may still happen occasionally even with new BIOS versions. The BIOS cannot boot from disks attached to the second IDE controller. However, the Linux hard disk is attached to the second IDE controller. This problem, too, is rather uncommon. The hard disk geometry set in the BIOS during the GRUB installation was changed posteriorly or the hard disk was inserted in a different machine or attached to a different controller after the installation. Solution For cause one, correct the hard disk settings in the BIOS or activate LBA. For cause two, register all hard disks in the BIOS. For causes three, four, and five, a BIOS update might be the answer, provided the motherboard manufacturer supplies a newer BIOS that solves this problem. Otherwise, the problem can be solved by creating a boot partition within the area that can be addressed by the BIOS, i.e. within the hard disk area detected by the BIOS

OK, so I'm trying to set up a dual boot with Linux Mint\Windows 7, and have been doing so for hours. I finally found out how to install the Mint bootloader, because geom error boot I just don't like grub,on a 2gb partition. In easyBCD I add a linux distro selection, and select that partition. When I save and reboot the menu comes up and I chose Linux Mint. A black screen with this exact text appears: Geom Error DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I installed linux on a 60gb partition on my 1.5tb SeaGate external hard drive. Any help?

Which version of Mint are you using? Newer versions user Grub2 which has different configuration files. If you are using EasyBCD to boot, it's likely a failure in EasyBCD not Grub. If you still have the Mint CD, load it and boot the CD, open a terminal and run the command: sudo fdisk -l (lower case letter L) to get your partition information to post. It should work. I have Mint and win 7 and can boot either with EasyBCD or Grub.
