AV linux won't boot

Hi I'm wanting to use AV linux so I downloaded the live DVD and installed it. No errors so far.

I wanted to boot it off my 2TB drive (20GB partition=boot drive) but grub says something like

GRUB Boot error

No number or nothing ... . could this be a 2TB drive issue or not?

Here is a good article that explains your problem, an easy solution would be use grub2 to boot.

grub limitshttp://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li...gpt/index.html

and here is another great article I used (and still use)

grub2

and check out the Installation by Live CD
