I have a Lenovo Desktop PC that I bought used and put Kubuntu 14.04/LTS on and no other operating systems. Usually, it works great, but sometimes it gets buggy. For example, all of a sudden my LIbreOffice profile was screwed up -- I lost all my macros and custom toolbars, and got error messages when I tried to boot into it. Fortunately, I had that profile backed up and all was fine after I restored it. Sometimes when I got to boot this thing up, Kubuntu does not load, but instead I get the message: "1962: No operating system found," as well as a bunch of other stuff that you can see in the image below. The computer started doing this after I bought it and it had a 250 Gig hard drive. From those symptoms, I thought the hard drive was going bad. I wanted a bigger one anyone, so I bought a brand-new 1 TB internal Seagate drive, which I installed. After reinstalling Kubuntu and all my software, all seemed to work great. However, then the same problems as before returned. It seems unlikely that a brand-new drive is dying just like the old one. I'm wondering what it might be. Much of the time this thing works perfectly. I just get that message from time to time. If I restart the machine, sometimes it gives the message again and sometimes it boots back into Kubuntu. Sometimes one boot is enough. Other times it needs 2, but never more than that. I'm wondering what gives.
