Grub Rescue

Asked by Rand Al'Thor

I just decided to give Ubuntu a try today.

I completed the install and when it restarts I get this error:

error: invalid extent.
grub rescue>

I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu but I got the same error.

My specs:
It is the 64 bit version.
I am installing it on a 100 Gb Hdd.
I also have windows vista on a second hard drive, but I disconnected its hard drive to make sure it wouldn't change anything.
My computer is a HP d499z
4gb of ddr2 ram
quad core Amd 9600 processor at 2.3 ghz
Gtx 8600 graphics card.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I let it autopartition.

Boot to live CD and you can reinstate the grub bootloader using a chroot:

Can you help with this problem?
