Grub Error: 22 after re-install dual boot... noob
I had a good running Ubuntu 8.04 that could dual boot to windows XP... I bought a new monitor (actually a wide-screen t.v.) and it wouldn't display Ubuntu properly. A bunch of people tried to help and got stumped on how to fix it so I decided to just reinstall Ubuntu to see if that would help.
I put in my Ubuntu CD and when I got to the partition step I told it to reformat the / partition and told it where my home partition is and not to reformat and didn't tell it about any other partition or hard drive.
It went through the rest of the install process fine and told me to restart so I did and when it got to grub it gives:
Error: 22 Partition not found
or something close to that... It also does it for recovery mode. For windows it say something like:
ntldr is missing press: ctrl alt delete to restart
So now I am here using the Ubuntu Boot CD... Please help!
I also checked using the boot CD and my drives and partitions are still there... I did get scarred for a minute that all my pictures and movies would be gone but they're not...
Also I warn you that I know very little about Linux so if you could be very detailed in your instructions to fix this problem that would help a bunch!
Thanks in advance!
Jon
