Hello all,
I'm new to linux and loved Ubuntu.Sorry if post seems fimiliar but most of solutions were to complicated for me or just plain didn't work. Anyways, I recently installed Feisty and it ran fine even the GRUB. Then after I messed around with it a few times I had to re-install it and GRUB worked fine, however after I re-installed it again I get GRUB error 2. I use to get other errors like error 21 and I also had an error 5. I'm new to code so I neeed help if I need to change a file for example (/boot/GRUB) I'm using a live Cd but thats the only thing that works on my computer.

I have:

60 GB WD sda (000)=what it says when I install ubuntu (even though both harddrives are connected by IDE cables)Windows

250 GB Maxtor sdb (010) Ubuntu

500 GB Seagate sdc (000) external nothing on it just files

i tried switching the harddrives and BIOs but to no avail. I need real help. Righ now my main concern is to start Windows up.


Is their a way to just revert back to XP and remove GRUB for now. Then would re-installing Ubuntu fix my GRUB problem?


Also, When I unplugged my maxtor I still get the error, however when I unplug my WD I just get a black screen with a blinking underscore. Don't know if thats normal since I installed ubuntu of my Maxtor. If you guys need to know any of my files just ask. Please Help..

well, Today I used a SuperGrub live cd to uninstall GRUB from my HDA (windows drive) and now I can finally boot windows directly. I first tried to fix Linux but nothing happened, it just restarted my system with another GRUB 2 error. I tried to re-install ubuntu feisty on my MAXTOR drive after uninstalling GRUB, however I still got a GRUB error 2. My plan now is to just stick with windows for a while longer since I do not know how to fix this problem.

Hi Ubumby: i'm also getting GRUB err 2 (ubuntu 6.06) & i'm much too nice of a guy for that to happen to. Plz advise how to get the "Super GRUB" CD you mentioned in your post so that Ubuntu can be removed & i can shoot Win XP bugs first until this GRUB situation is resolved.

A "bug report" has been submitted for the err but no response so far. Any idea what causes GRUB err 2 ? The only solution i've found is to reinstall Ubuntu.

Thanx.

Bob
