Howdy
Problem: Can't boot into an OS
Steps Performed:
1) Fresh WinXP install
2) Fresh Kubuntu install
3) Reboot = Grub Restore prompt
The error involved device UUID 6e570400-9ee6-40ad-afc4-e34f020382fc
Booted up with Live CD, but not particularly sure what to do to fix GRUB
Additional info: (two hard drive system)
sudo fdisk -l
sudo blkid
grub.cfg (cherry picked what I thought would be relevant)
fstab (cherry picked again)
Additional Notes: Can mount these drives inside Live CD fine. Data on each looks fine.
Thoughts?
(preferably something that doesn't involve downloading a recovery disk etc would be nice since I have no flash drive)
