unable to boot up my external hard disk which results in grub error 5. I am able to grub error 18 boot up my external hard disk before the crash.I have tried many things except using grub-install.. it keep giving me "does not have any corresponding BIOS drive". I have

never install using grub-install since I usually use grub command prompt with root and setup.Further searching indicate I can copy my laptop MBR to the external hard disk using dd command. However, the partition table is not the same and I try copying the MBR to another external hard disk it result in "Missing operating system".I hope fellow grub error 15 ArchLinux can advise how me to make my 1TB external hard disk bootable again.

This is a bad sign. "This may or may not help, some people have reported it helping:can you boot a LiveCD and rearrange the boot partition to be in the begining? also check that the disk has a bottable flag on it with fdisk -lto find what it's called then fdisk /dev/whatyoufound/a (toggle bootable flag)1 (1st partition)w (write the partition table)In general Grub error 5 seems to be pretty serious, and I would say backup your /home and settings and reinstall, unless someone has a better idea...note: I can't be responsible for ANY data loss, please take my advice as a recommendation.

will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a floppy disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of grub error 17 the floppy disk fails. It's listed as a different error since the probe sequence is different than for hard disks. "Read Error" This error message will occur if a disk read error happens while trying to read the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5. "Geom https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100177 Error" This error message will occur if the location of the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is not in the area supported by reading the disk with the BIOS directly. This could occur because the BIOS translated geometry has been changed by the user or the disk is moved to another machine or controller after installation, or GRUB was not installed using itself (if it was, the Stage 2 version of this error would have been seen during that process and it would not have completed the install). http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html Errors Reported by the Stage 1.5 The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form "Error: " and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. The error numbers correspond to the Errors Reported by the Stage 2 in the listed sequence. Errors Reported by the Stage 2 The general way that the Stage 2 handles errors is to abort the operation in question, print an error string, then (if possible) either continue based on 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 colon in each description): 1 : "Selected item won't fit into memory" This error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load it's data such that it won't fit into memory or it is simply too big. 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. 3 : "Disk read error" This error is returned if there is a disk read error when trying to probe or read data from a particular disk. 4 : "Disk write error" This error is returned if there is a disk write error when trying to write to a particular disk. This would generally only occur durin
