Re: Grub stage 1.5
Morning everyone
He is the current status of my problem
I have reformatted the computer as nfts and as ext3 and I have tried all the suggestions about.
Then i tried to reinstall Kubuntu and i get the same grub error. Reformated and tried Ubuntu and same error
I can run the live version of bouth on the computer and connect to the net and everything else works.
Reformated and tried to install Fedora 9 and this time i made some progress I was getting a Grub 2.0 error
Found something called super grub repair and that did not work
Tried the repair option in Fedora 9 and followed instructions from that forum and no luck
I have downloaded and burned about 20 disk all from differant locations and check the cd's. Tossed 2 or 3 because they did not pass the checks. I am using g part live for the formating. At the point I think I am going to reinstall Windows XP and see about working from there. I wanted only Linux on this machine but for now that does not seem to be in the picture.
I know that the wubi version works as well as the live version. So I think the next step after reinstalling windows is to format the computer from there and reinstall Kubuntu or Fedora 9 Or dig out that old DOS 6.2 on floppy and install that and see what happens. Any ideas are welcome
