Intel mainboard P4 3.2GHZ running Debian 3.1. Two Ultra Wide SCSI HDD's. 36GB each. I encounter a problem in doing the first boot after the installation. see below: Grub Stage 1.5 Grub Loading, Please Wait Error 18 I've researched this GRUB error and I was able to find that the error basically means that the HDD's connected are to large for the BIOS that the machine is running. Now this mainboard is no more than a month old, however...and

After recovering your Windows boot you should be able to delete or reconvert your Linux partitions to NTFS, FAT32 or (winfs if it had been developed) .Quote from: chef11994 on 2009/09/26, 18:06:40 pm You bet I will donate.Thank you! adrian15 Logged If you have liked this piece of advice please consider donating to the Super Grub Disk project.

Video on YouTube Monday, October 13, 2008 Grub Stage 1.5 … Grub Loading, Please Wait … grub loading Error 18 I got a used DELL from work a couple years ago, they sold it cheap because they were upgrading all their computers, and I used it to play movies for my kids while I was at their mom's house. I decided to take it back home and put Linux on it and let them use that to play online while I was on my regular grub loading please computer. I had Ubuntu installed on a HDD in my regular tower and swapped out the drives and it didn't work so I decided to wipe the HDD and reinstall Ubuntu. The install went smooth and it ejected the CD and said hit Enter. I hit enter and the computer rebooted and said:Grub Stage 1.5Grub Loading, Please WaitError 18I waited for a while and nothing happened. I rebooted again, and again saw the same message, thinking I might have rebooted too soon before I waited a long time, took a nap for a few hours and came back, it was still in the same state. I read all I could about this error message that seems to only happen to newbies, where the only fix seems to be re-installing the GRUB, but, this is a NEW install... I reinstalled the whole Ubuntu again, nothing. Tried making a separate partition, said the partition was too small, so I redid it from scratch again, nope. A lot of people were getting results from doing something in the BIOS, my BIOS had nothing close to what they were changing to fix their problem. I was thinking maybe the HDD I had w

GRUB loading, please wait.... Some others here have had similar problems, but they usually have an Error code as well. My problem is that I get: GRUB Loading Stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait.... _ with the last underscore here being a flashing cursor. I just stays here ( Not hung I suspect because the cursor line is flashing ). I can access and read/write all my files on the hard drive, so that seems fine. I have through 'console' mode only, installed what I believe is a suitable video driver for linux and in particular - PCLinuxOS 2009 distro. I have tried various ways to recover the MBR and re-issue grub-install and though all outcomes suggest things have proceeded OK, I still only get this..
